3.45

na dhyānaṃ padam īśvarasya vidhivat saṃsāra-vicchittaye
svarga-dvāra-kapāṭa-pāṭana-paṭur dharmo 'pi nopārjitaḥ |
nārī-pīna-payodharoru-yugalaṃ svapne 'pi nāliṅgitaṃ
mātuḥ kevalam eva yauvana-vana-cchede kuṭhārā vayam ||

The abode of the Lord was not duly meditated upon to cut through the cycle of worldly existence, / nor was righteousness earned, capable of breaking open the doors to heaven; / the pair of plump breasts and thighs of a woman was not embraced even in a dream: / we were merely axes for cutting down the forest of our mother's youth.
