2.10

nūnaṃ hi te kavi-varā viparīta-vāco
ye nityam āhur abalā iti kāminīs tāḥ |
yābhir vilolitara-tāraka-dṛṣṭi-pātaiḥ
śakrādayo 'pi vijitās tv abalāḥ kathaṃ tāḥ ||

Surely those best of poets spoke contrarily / who constantly called those amorous women 'the powerless' (abalāḥ); / for how can they be powerless by whom, with casting of eyes with rolling pupils, / even Śakra and the other gods are conquered?
