2.272

yaḥ kaumāra-haraḥ sa eva hi varas tā eva caitra-kṣapās
te conmīlita-mālatī-surabhayaḥ prauḍhāḥ kadambānilāḥ
sā caivāsmi tathāpi tatra surata-vyāpāra-līlā-vidhau
revā-rodhasi vetasī-taru-tale cetaḥ samutkaṇṭhate ||

'He who took my maidenhood is indeed my husband, and these are the very same Caitra nights;
they are the breezes from the kadambas, matured with the fragrance of blooming mālatī flowers;
and I am the very same woman; yet my heart yearns for the play of amorous activities
there on the bank of the Revā beneath the cane-reed tree.'

2.272.p1

atra kasyāścit svairiṇyā gṛhiṇītva-paricayena pati-daśāṃ prāpte' pi jāre upekṣāpekṣayor abhāva-kathanān mandaḥ snehaḥ |

Here, because of the statement of the absence of indifference and expectation toward a lover even after he has attained the status of husband through long familiarity as a housewife, a certain wanton woman's affection is mild.
