ENGLISH TRANSLATION
71.O girl with the beautiful face, what kind of man does a girl like? What is his nature? O beautiful one, even though the answer to this question may be confidential and not to be repeated to anyone, I still yearn to hear it. 72.Of all the gandharvas, demigods, kings, and saints, whom do you like best? Whom do you think more dear to you than life itself? 73.Hearing the demon's words, Tilottamä laughed and covered her face. With crooked eyes she gazed at him. 74.Then she truthfully told him the secrets hidden in her heart, secrets unknown even to the great philosophers. 75.Tilottamä said: O king of the demons, O lover, I will tell you what is in the heart of women that like to run after men. A philosopher that knows the Vedas, Vedänta, and all other scriptures still cannot understand where the directions, the sky, or the nature of women has its end. 76.Even if he brings her gifts of jewels, a woman thinks an old man more bitter than poison. Even if he robs all she has, she thinks a young man more dear than life. 77.When she sees a handsome young man, an unchaste woman becomes mad with desire. Especially if he is well-dressed, her heart becomes devastated. 78.With unblinking eyes she drinks his face. Her wet vagina itches. 79.Her mind becomes restless and unsteady. All her limbs tremble. Her body becomes stunned. She burns in a fire of lust. 80.Finding him in a secluded place, she openly tells her desire. Again and again she smiles and gazes at him.
