CHAPTER X 431
किं भूषणं सुदृढमत्र यशो न रत्नं
किं कार्यमार्यचरितं सुकृतं न दोषः ।
किं चक्षुरप्रतिहतं धिषणा न नेत्रं
जानाति कस्त्वदपरः सदसद्विवेकम् ॥५२२॥
कौटिल्यं कचनिचये करचरणाधरदलेषु रागस्ते ।
काठिन्यं कुचयुगले तरलत्वं नयनयोर्वसति ॥५२३॥
भक्तिर्भवे न विभवे व्यसनं शास्त्रे न युवतिकामास्त्रे ।
चिन्ता यशसि न वपुषि प्रायः परिदृश्यते महताम् ॥५२४॥११९॥
यथोत्तरं चेत् पूर्वस्य पूर्वस्यार्थस्य हेतुता ।
तदा कारणमाला स्यात् ॥

(d) [Not preceded by question,—the Excluded ex-
pressed]—

ing, not to women, the weapon of love ; anxiety for re-

all good men.’ 119.
