2.37

saṃsāre svapna-sāre pariṇati-tarale dve gatī paṇḍitānāṃ
tattva-jñānāmṛtāmbhaḥ-plava-lalita-dhiyāṃ yātu kālaḥ kathañcit |
no cen mugdhāṅganānāṃ stana-jaghana-ghanābhoga-sambhoginīnāṃ
sthūlopastha-sthalīṣu sthagita-karatala-sparśa-līlodyamānām ||

In this cycle of worldly existence, whose essence is like a dream and whose outcome is fleeting, two paths lie before wise men: / either let their time pass somehow with intellects delighted by plunging into the nectar-waters of knowledge of reality; / or else in the company of lovely women relishing the full swell of breasts and hips, / playfully eager to touch with trembling palms the expansive slopes of their loins.
