नानाभतया तु लोकस्य दैवयोगाश्च योषिताम् ॥८॥
तं तं प्राप्य विवर्धन्ते नरं रूपादयो गुणाः । वयोरूपवचोहावैर्या यस्य परमाङ्गना ॥ ९ ॥
प्रविशत्याशु हृदयं दैवाद्वा कर्मणोऽपि वा । हृदयोत्स्वरूपा या या समानमनः शया ॥ १० ॥
समानसत्त्वा या वश्या या यस्य प्रीयते प्रियैः । या पाशभूता सर्वेषामिन्द्रियाणां परैर्गुणैः ॥ ११ ॥
यया वियुक्तो निरस्त्रीकमरतिर्मन्यते जगत् । यस्या ऋते शरीरं ना धत्ते शून्यमिवेन्द्रियैः ॥ १२ ॥
शोकोद्वेगारतिभयैर्या दृष्ट्वा नाभिभूयते । याति यां प्राप्य विस्रम्भं दृष्ट्वा हृष्यत्यतीव याम् ॥ १३ ॥
अपूर्वामिव यां याति नित्यं हर्षातिवेगतः । गत्वा गत्वाऽपि बहुशो यां तृप्तिं नैव गच्छति ॥ १४ ॥
सा स्त्री वृष्यतमा तस्य नानाभावा हि मानवाः । अतुल्यगोत्रां वृष्यां च प्रहृशं निरुपद्रवाम् ॥ १५ ॥
शुद्धस्नातां व्रजेन्नारीमपत्यार्थी निरामयः ।
