Translation
Only one among all lovers gets acclaimed! He is the Shiva who wore half of his beloved’s form as his. Among those with dispassion, there is none greater than him, for he never covets the company of a woman. The others paralyzed by the fast-spreading poison of the deadly serpent namely the ‘irresistible arrow shot by the God of Passion’ and being smitten by lust, are not capable of enjoying or resisting the sense pleasures. ॥ 17 ॥
