Delighting the pair of eyes by her sight, the body by the soft nature of her form,
the nose by divine fragrance departing from her mouth, the pair of ears by lovely speech,
and also offering her attractive lotus-face to the tongue with delight—
no other thing thus bestows the pleasure of the five sense-organs on impassioned men as a young woman does.
