1.16.132

gaṇḍaṃ cumbasi kuṇḍala-stham akari tvaṃ tasya vaṃsi tvam apy
āsyaṃ prekṣi tathāṅgam aṅgam asakṛn māle tvam āliṅgasi |
tad yuktaṃ yad atīta-sarva-vidhikā yūyaṃ, vayaṃ tu sphuṭaṃ
hā tat-tad-vidhi-bhāg-vicāra-hatakenābhīpsitād vañcitāḥ || [śārdūla]

"O flute, you kiss his cheek framed by earrings, and you too behold his face; / O garland, you repeatedly embrace limb after limb! / That is only fitting, for you have transcended all injunctions; but we, clearly, / alas, are cheated of our desired object by the wretched scruples of those bound by various social rules!
