कनकच्छेदसंकाश – शिखालोकविमोहितः । रभसेन पतन् दीपे शलभो लभते मृतिम् ॥३१॥ हरिणो हारिणी गीति-माकर्णयितुमुदधरः । पाककृष्ट चापस्य याति व्याधस्य वेध्यताम् ॥३२॥ एवं विषय एकः पञ्चत्वाय निषेवित:। कथं हि युगपत्पञ्च पञ्चत्वाय भवन्ति न ?॥३३॥
Meaning : An elephant, when stretches his trunk to enjoy his mate, is at once bound to the post and subjected to pain.
___ A fish, safe in the deep waters, when tempted to take the bait, is at once caught by the fisherman.
A wasp, when attracted by the scent of an elephant's brow, sits on it, is immediately knocked dead by the elephant's ear flaps.
Moths, fascinated by the bright golden flame of the lamp, court death by jumping into it.
___ A deer, curious to hear the sweet music, is at once pierced dead by the hunter's arrow. • Thus it is clear that the satisfaction of even a single sense organ leads to certain death and misery. What, than about the simultaneous satisfaction of all the sense organs ? It would certainly result in death.
तद्रिन्द्रियजयं कुर्यात मनःशुढ्या महामतिः ।
यां विना यमनियमैः कायक्लेशो वथा नणां ॥३४॥ Meaning : The observence of the vows or other rituals are fruitless without the discipline of senses.
