2.10.28

tatra su:bhṛśaḥ kalaho ruditam āyāsaḥ śiro-ruhāṇām avakṣodanaṃ((56)) prahaṇanam āsanāc chayanād vā mahyāṃ patanaṃ mālya-bhūṣaṇāvamokṣo bhūmau śayyā((57)) ca.

A woman who is very much in love with a man cannot bear to hear the name of her rival mentioned, or to have any conversation regarding her, or to be addressed by her name through mistake. If such takes place, a great quarrel arises, and the woman cries, becomes angry, tosses her hair about, strikes her lover, falls from her bed or seat, and, casting aside her garlands and ornaments, throws herself down on the ground.

Richard Francis Burton & Foster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot 1883, The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
