दोर्मूलं खलु दर्शयेत्स्तनयुगे वस्त्रं समालम्बते अङ्गुष्ठेन लिखेन्महीं स्मितमुखी व्रीडां विधत्ते मृषा ।
दन्तेनाधरपल्लवं विदशति व्यक्तं तथा भाषते भावैरेभिरिह स्फुटं मृगदृशां ज्ञेयोऽभिलाषः सदा ॥ ३० ॥

Note! The following is not a translation of the above verse, but merely an arbitrary extract of the English text.

She should show the root of her arm, hold her clothes on her breasts, write on the ground with her thumb, and smile on her face, and she should be ashamed of herself. With his teeth he pierces the lotus of his lips, and thus he speaks clearly with these emotions. This is clearly understood to be the desire of a deer-like woman.
