सर्वान कामयते यस्मात कनेर धातॊश च भामिनि तस्मात कन्येह सुश्रॊणि सवतन्त्रा वरवर्णिनि ॥ ३-२९१-१३ ॥
'It is because a maiden naturally desires union that she is called Kanyā, derived from the root kāma, meaning 'to desire.' Therefore, O thou of shapely hips and radiant complexion, a virgin is, by nature, her own mistress in this world.' ॥ 3-291-13 ॥
