saṃsāre 'sminn asāre kunṛpati-bhavana-dvāra-sevā-kalaṅkavyāsaṅga-
vyasta-dhairyaṃ katham amala-dhiyo mānasaṃ saṃvidadhyuḥ |
yady etāḥ prodyad-indu-dyuti-nicaya-bhṛto na syur ambhoja-netrāḥ
preṅkhat-kāñcī-kalāpāḥ stana-bhara-vinaman-madhya-bhājas taruṇyaḥ ||

In this worthless cycle of worldly existence, how could men of pure intellect / fix their minds, whose fortitude is broken by attachment to the disgrace of attending at the doors of petty kings, / if there were not these young maidens, bearing the gathered radiance of the rising moon, / with lotus eyes, trembling girdles, and waists bending under the weight of their breasts?
