Hitopdesh • Chapter 2 • Shloka 194
सापि लावण्यवती तदवलोकनक्षणात्प्रभृति स्मरशरप्रहारजर्जरितहृदया
तद् एकचित्ताभवत् । तथा ह्युक्तम् --
असत्यं साहसं माया मात्सर्यं चातिलुब्धता ।
निर्गुणत्वमशौचत्वं स्त्रीणां दोषाः स्वभावजाः ॥
That Lavanyavati too, from the moment she saw him, thought solely of him, her heart being deeply wounded by the fallings of the shafts of love. For, it is said, infidelity, a spirit of adventure, deceit, jealousy, extreme avarice, absence of good qualities and want of purity - these are the natural defects of women.
