2.7.40

ripuḥ iva sakhī-saṃvāsaḥ ayam śikhī iva hima-anilaḥ
viṣam iva sudhā-raśmiḥ yasmin dunoti manaḥ-gate /
hṛdayam adaye tasmin evam punaḥ valate balāt
kuvalaya-dṛśām vāmaḥ kāmaḥ nikāma-niraṅkuśaḥ //

When he has entered the mind, living with confidantes torments like an enemy,
the cool breeze like fire, the moon's nectar rays like poison;
yet toward him, heartless though he is, the heart turns again by force:
for lotus-eyed women, desire is perverse and utterly unchecked.
