1.12.12

mārāṅke rati-keli-saṅkula-raṇārambhe tayā sāhasa-prāyaṃ kānta-jayāya kiṃcid upari prārambhi yat-sambhramāt |
NOTE: {vāmāṅge iti ni-pāṭhaḥ. }
niṣpandā jaghana-sthalī śithilitā dor-vallir utkampitaṃ vakṣo mīlitam akṣi pauruṣa-rasaḥ strīṇāṃ kutaḥ sidhyati ||

At the inception of the confused battle of erotic play in the domain of love, when she boldly initiated the superior position to conquer her lover, / out of that exertion her hips became motionless, the creepers of her arms went limp, her chest heaved, her eyes closed: how could the active role of men succeed for women?
