1.139

caraṇapatanaṃ sakhyālāpā manoharacāṭavaḥ
kṛśataratanorgāḍhāśleṣo haṭhātparicumbanam |
iti hi capalo mānārambhastathāpi hi notsahe
hṛdayadayitaḥ kāntaḥ kāmaṃ kimatra karomyaham ||101||(95)

Falling at my feet, the words of friends, charming flatteries,
a tight embrace of my slender body, kissing me by force—
such is the fleeting onset of amorous petulance, and yet I have not the resolve;
the lover is the darling of my heart: what, pray, can I do in this matter? ||101||(95)
