Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 121
एकदा सा लीलावती रत्नावलीकिरणकर्बुरे पर्यङ्के तेन वणिक्पुत्रेण सह
विश्रम्भालापैः सुखासीना तमलक्षितोपस्थितं पतिमवलोक्य सहसोत्थाय केशेष्वाकृष्य
गाढमालिङ्ग्य चुम्बितवती । तेनावसरेण जारश्च पलायितः । उक्तं च ।
उशना वेद यच्छास्त्रं यच्च वेद बृहस्पतिः ।
स्वभावेनैव तच्छास्त्रं स्त्रीबुद्धौ सुप्रतिष्ठितम् ॥
Once, as that Lilavati was sitting at ease on a couch fringed with the rays of a series of gems, engaged in a confidential talk with the merchant's son, she beheld her husband come there unexpectedly, when, rising quickly, she pulled him by the hair, closely embraced him and kissed him. In the meanwhile, the gallant made his escape. It is said - The Sastra which Usanas ever knew, as also that which Brihaspati knew - all that is well planted in the talent of a woman.
