1.173

nāryastanvi haṭhāddharanti ramaṇaṃ tiṣṭhanti no vāritās
tatkiṃ tāmyasi kiṃ ca rodiṣi mudhā tāsāṃ priyaṃ mā kṛthāḥ |
kāntaḥ keliruciryuvā sahṛdayastādṛkpatiḥ kātarae
kiṃ no barkarakarkaraiḥ priyaśatairākramya vikrīyate ||7||(8)

Slender woman, women carry off a lover by force; they do not desist when forbidden;
why then do you languish, and why do you weep in vain? Do not do what pleases them!
A lover fond of sport, young, a connoisseur—such a husband, timid woman,
is he not bought up and taken away through hundreds of endearments, coarse as well as harsh? (7)
