तस्याहं प्रकृतिः सक्ष्मा कथमन्यं पतिम्वृणे ॥ सिंही कामातुरा नैव जम्बुकं वृणुते क्वचित् ॥ ६० ॥

sanskrit

I am His subtle Prakṛti. How can I choose another as my husband? Even if she is overwhelmed by love does a lioness choose a jackal as her mate?

english translation

tasyAhaM prakRtiH sakSmA kathamanyaM patimvRNe ॥ siMhI kAmAturA naiva jambukaM vRNute kvacit ॥ 60 ॥
