english translation

तत्पश्चात् मंत्रोच्चार करने में पटु सौभरि मुनि एक दिन जब एकान्त स्थान में बैठे थे, तो उन्होंने अपने पतन के कारण के विषय में सोचा। कारण यही था कि उन्होंने एक मछली के मैथुन से अपने आपको सम्बद्ध कर दिया था। ।। ९-६-४९ ।।

sanskrit

Alas! While practicing austerity, even within the depths of the water, and while observing all the rules and regulations practiced by saintly persons, I lost the results of my long austerities simply by association with the sexual affairs of fish. Everyone should observe this falldown and learn from it. ।। 9-6-50 ।।

ओह! गम्भीर जल के भीतर तपस्या करने पर भी तथा साधु पुरुषों द्वारा अभ्यास किये जाने वाले सारे विधि-विधानों का पालन करते हुए भी मैंने मात्र मछली के मैथुन-सान्निध्य के कारण अपनी दीर्घकालीन तपस्या का फल हाथों से जाने दिया। हर एक को इस पतन को देखकर इससे सीख लेनी चाहिए। ।। ९-६-५० ।।
