2.39
kim iha bahubhir uktair yukti-śūnyaiḥ pralāpairdvayam
iha puruṣāṇāṃ sarvadā sevanīyam |
abhinava-mada-līlā-lālasaṃ sundarīṇāṃ
stana-bhara-parikhinnaṃ yauvanaṃ vā vanaṃ vā ||
What is the use of many words, idle chatter devoid of reason? / Only two things in this world should always be resorted to by men: / either the youth of beautiful women, eager for the fresh sports of passion / and weary from the weight of their breasts, or the forest.
