3.252

medaś cheda-kṛśodaraṃ laghu bhavaty utthāna-yogyaṃ vapuḥ
sattvānām api lakṣyate vikṛtimac cittaṃ bhaya-krodhayoḥ |
utkarṣaḥ sa ca dhanvināṃ yad iṣavaḥ sidhyanti lakṣye cale
mithyaiva vyasanaṃ vadanti mṛgayāmīdṛg vinodaḥ kutaḥ ||

The body becomes slender-waisted through the reduction of fat, light, and fit for exertion; / even in wild beasts, the mind is observed in its alteration under fear and anger; / and that is the glory of archers, that their arrows succeed against a moving target: / falsely indeed do they call hunting a vice; whence could there be such a diversion?"
