Nāṭyaśāstra (नाट्यशास्त्र), rasa

प्रस्फुरितौष्ठकपोलं सशिरःकम्पं तथा सनिःश्वासम् ।
भ्रुकुटीकटाक्षकुटिलं स्त्रीणामीर्ष्याकृतं भवति
prasphuritauṣṭhakapolaṃ saśiraḥkampaṃ tathā saniḥśvāsam |
bhrukuṭīkaṭākṣakuṭilaṃ strīṇāmīrṣyākṛtaṃ bhavati

The line

Lip and cheek trembling, a shaking of the head, a sigh, the brow crooked, the sidelong glance crooked: of women, it comes to be made by envy.

नेपालीमा

ओठ र गाला काँप्नु, शिर हल्लिनु, सुस्केरा, बाङ्गो आँखीभौं र बाङ्गो कटाक्ष, स्त्रीहरूमा यो ईर्ष्याले बन्छ।

Where it sits

The third. The verse gives it to women. The signs are the brow and the glance.
