Shatakatraya 2.35

2.35

asārāḥ sarve te virati-virasāḥ pāpa-viṣayā
jugupsyantāṃ yad vā nanu sakala-doṣāspadam iti |
tathāpy etad-bhūmau nahi para-hitāt puṇyam adhikaṃ
na cāsmin saṃsāre kuvalaya-dṛśo ramyam aparam ||
etat-kāma-phalo loke yad dvayor eka-cittatā |
anya-citta-kṛte kāme śavayor iva saṅgamaḥ ||

All sense objects are insubstantial, distasteful in their end, and sinful; / or let them be abhorred, knowing they are indeed the seat of all faults; / yet upon this earth there is no merit greater than the welfare of others, / and in this cycle of worldly existence there is nothing more delightful than a blue-lotus-eyed woman. / The fruit of desire in this world is that the two become of one mind; / when love is made with divided minds, it is like the union of two corpses.
