सुस्नातं पुरुषं दृष्ट्वा सुगन्धं मलवर्जितम् ॥ योनिः प्रक्लिद्यते स्त्रीणां दृतेः पात्रादिवोदकम्॥ ३१॥

On seeing a man fresh and clean from his bath with his body perfumed with sweet scents, the vaginal passage of women begins to exude like water dripping from a leather bag.

english translation

कायानामपि दातारं कर्त्तारं मानसांत्वयोः ॥ रक्षितारं न मृष्यंति भर्तारं परमं स्त्रियः ॥ ३२॥

Women do not brook their husbands who may give all that they love, who may honour and console them and who may look after them well.

english translation

न कामभोगात्परमान्नालंकारार्थसंचयात् ॥ तथा हितं न मन्यन्ते यथा रतिपरिग्रहात् ॥ ३३ ॥

Women do not remain satisfied and contented so much with simple loves and pleasures and with ornaments and money as with illicit love pursued by them with other men.

english translation

अन्तकश्शमनो मृत्युः पातालं वडवामुखम् ॥ क्षुरधारा विषं सर्पो वह्निरित्येकतः स्त्रियः ॥ ३४॥

Women can be kept equally balanced against all these put together viz., god of death, Yama, Antaka, Pātāla, the submarine fire, the sharp edge of razor, poison, serpent and fire.

english translation

यतश्च भूतानि महांति पंच यतश्च लोको विहितो विधात्रा ॥ यतः पुमांसः प्रमदाश्च निर्मिताः सदैव दोषः प्रमदासु नारद ॥ ३५ ॥

Ever since the five elements, the world, the men and women were created by Brahmā, O Nārada, the defect lies in women always.
