अहं पुष्पशरो लोके प्रसिद्धश्चारुहासिनि । विडंबनां मया नीता देवा अपि निजैः शरैः

Scene: Kāma, radiant and youthful, holds a floral bow and speaks proudly to the smiling woman, describing how even gods fall to his flower-arrows.
Desire can overwhelm even exalted beings; therefore restraint and dharma-guided conduct are essential.
