बोधितस्यापि देव्या मे सूक्तवाक्येन दुर्मतेः । मनो गतो महामोहो नापयात्यजितात्मनः ।। ११-२६-१६ ।।

sanskrit

Because I allowed my intelligence to become dull and because I failed to control my senses, the great confusion in my mind did not go away, even though Urvaśī herself gave me wise counsel with well-spoken words. ।। 11-26-16 ।।

किमेतया नोपकृतं रज्ज्वा वा सर्पचेतसः । रज्जुस्वरूपाविदुषो योऽहं यदजितेन्द्रियः ।। ११-२६-१७ ।।

sanskrit

How can I blame her for my trouble when I myself am ignorant of my real, spiritual nature? I did not control my senses, and so I am like a person who mistakenly sees a harmless rope as a snake. ।। 11-26-17 ।।

क्वायं मलीमसः कायो दौर्गन्ध्याद्यात्मकोऽशुचिः । क्व गुणाः सौमनस्याद्या ह्यध्यासोऽविद्यया कृतः ।। ११-२६-१८ ।।

sanskrit

What is this polluted body anyway — so filthy and full of bad odors? I was attracted by the fragrance and beauty of a woman’s body, but what are those so-called attractive features? They are simply a false covering created by illusion. ।। 11-26-18 ।।

पित्रोः किं स्वं नु भार्यायाः स्वामिनोऽग्नेः श्वगृध्रयोः । किमात्मनः किं सुहृदामिति यो नावसीयते ।। ११-२६-१९ ।।

sanskrit

One can never decide whose property the body actually is. Does it belong to one’s parents, who have given birth to it, to one’s wife, who gives it pleasure, or to one’s employer, who orders the body around? Is it the property of the funeral fire or of the dogs and jackals who may ultimately devour it? Is it the property of the indwelling soul, who partakes in its happiness and distress, or does the body belong to intimate friends who encourage and help it? ।। 11-26-19 ।।

तस्मिन् कलेवरेऽमेध्ये तुच्छनिष्ठे विषज्जते । अहो सुभद्रं सुनसं सुस्मितं च मुखं स्त्रियाः ।। ११-२६-२० ।।

sanskrit

Although a man never definitely ascertains the proprietor of the body, he becomes most attached to it. The material body is a polluted material form heading toward a lowly destination, yet when a man stares at the face of a woman he thinks, “What a good-looking lady! What a charming nose she’s got, and see her beautiful smile!” ।। 11-26-20 ।।
