Hitopdesh • Chapter 5 • Shloka 8
अथैकदा सा रत्नप्रभा तस्य सेवकस्य मुखे चुम्बनं ददती समुद्रदत्तेनावलोकिता । ततः सा बन्धकी सत्वरं भर्तुः समीपं गत्वाह -- नाथ एतस्य सेवकस्य महती निर्वृतिः । यतोऽयं चौरिकां कृत्वा कर्पूरं खादतीति मयास्य मुखमाघ्राय ज्ञातम् । तथा चोक्तम् -- आहारो द्विगुणः स्त्रीणां बुद्धिस्तासां चतुर्गुणा । षड्गुणो व्यवसायश्च कामश्चाष्टगुणः स्मृतः ॥
Now on one occasion that Ratnaprabha was seen impressing a kiss on the servant's mouth, by Samudradatta. Thereupon that profligate woman going up to him quickly said - My lord, great must be the fondness for ease of this our servant, since I have found out by smelling his mouth that he eats camphor, having stolen it. For it is said - The eating capacity of women (lit. food - as compared to that of men) is said to be twofold, their talent fourfold, their energy sixfold and their passion eightfold.
