## The 67th Chapter
Having known your excellent fortitude, depth, and wisdom, it seems that you are being led astray by someone, just like Sita went astray. ||52||
Seeing your reflection in the well of misfortune, like the spider seeing its reflection in the water, why are you drawn to these calamities? ||53||
Break through the towering tree of infamy, which brings immense suffering. What fruit do you desire, like the hollow stem of a banana tree? ||54||
O, you who are as deep as the ocean, adorn your noble lineage once more. Quickly abandon Sita, who is like a thorn in the head of your noble family. ||55||
O Lord, warriors engage in conflict for the sake of wealth or with the thought, "Either I kill him or I die." But here, wealth is not the purpose of your conflict, for you have no lack of it. And the other purpose, death, is for what? To die for a woman who is not yours? This is laughable. ||56||
Or, let's say that defeating the enemy group is the purpose of the conflict. What purpose is achieved by defeating the enemy group? Therefore, O Lord, abandon this stubborn attachment to Sita. ||57||
And let the other vow remain, the vow of renouncing another woman. Only by renouncing another woman does a man of good character attain praise in both births. ||58||
A man who lusts after other women, who are like kohl, even though he is as heavy as Mount Meru, becomes as light as a blade of grass. ||59||
Even a king, or even a son of a king, who is favored by the gods, becomes stained by the mud of attachment to another woman and attains ultimate infamy. ||60||
He who engages in love with another woman, like a fool, is like one who enjoys the company of a venomous serpent. ||61||
Do not defile your pure lineage with infamy. Or, you are defiling yourself. Therefore, abandon this evil thought. ||62||
The mighty men like Samuka and Vajraghoṣa, driven by their desire for another woman, have met their destruction. Have you not heard of them? ||63||
