1.16.128

veṇoḥ puṇyam atīva hanta yad asāv astrī ca tasyādharaṃ
gopīnāṃ svam api hriyaṃ pariharan śaśvat pibann ardati |
tṛptyā chardi-nibhād amuṣya raṇitān nadyo' pi phullanty amūr
yad-vaṃśyā naga-jātayo' pi madhubhir bāṣpaṃ madād bibhrati || [śārdūla]

"Alas, great indeed is the flute’s merit, since, though not a woman, / it robs the cowherd women’s property and their modesty, constantly drinking his lower lip and tormenting them! / Out of satiety, as if vomiting from its resonance, these rivers burst into blossom, / while even the varieties of trees born of the mountains, its kin, shed tears of joy through their saps!"
