Subhāṣitaratnakośa 440

याता लोचनगोचरं यदि विधेरेणेक्षणा सुन्दरी
नेयं कुङ्कुमपङ्कपिञ्जरमुखी तेनोज्झिता स्यात्क्षणम् ।
नाप्यामीलितलोचनस्य रचनाद्रूपं भवेदीदृशं
तस्मात्सर्वमकर्तृकं जगदिदं श्रेयो मतं सौगतम् ॥ 

 

śārdūlavikrīḍita

If that doe-eyed woman had crossed the creator's eyes,
her face red with saffron paste,
he wouldn't have let her go for a second.
And he couldn't produce such beauty with his eyes closed.
Therefore this whole world has no creator,
and the Buddhist doctrine is best.
