2.32

siddhādhyāsita-kandare hara-vṛṣa-skandhāvarugṇa-drume
gaṅgā-dhauta-śilā-tale himavataḥ sthāne sthite śreyasi |
kaḥ kurvīta śiraḥ praṇāma-malinaṃ mlānaṃ manasvī jano
yad-vitrasta-kuraṅga-śāva-nayanā na syuḥ smarāstraṃ striyaḥ ||

While the auspicious abode of the Himalayas stands, its caves inhabited by Siddhas, / its trees broken by the shoulders of Śiva's bull, its rock surfaces washed by the Gaṅgā, / what high-minded man would bow his head, making it dirty and dejected, / if women, with eyes like frightened fawns, were not the weapons of Smara?
