. 54 Total destruction of property, deadlı enmity, bondage, painful fear of the body being hanged and residence in the terrible hell in the next world-these are the penal fruits of coming in touch with another's wife.
55-56 A discreet man should give up thoughts of another's wife, of a miss or of a harlot, even though she may be fawp-eyed, tender like a Shirisha flower, of nectar-like speech and lovely 1ike a Madhooka flower; even if her face be frag. rant with the sweet odour of the fully developed lotus and splendid like the full moon, even if she showers forth flowers in the form of smiles, and even if she extremely beautiful be eminently accomplished in various arts, knowing her to be a poisonous creeper.
