Harms of Associating with Unchaste Women
Yogashastra, Second Canto, Verses 89-94:
1. Who would want to kiss the false and dirty mouth of a prostitute, which is like stale and foul-smelling food, due to meat-eating, drinking alcohol, and being kissed by many lovers? (89)
2. Even after a lustful man has given away all his wealth to a courtesan, when he becomes destitute, the prostitute desires to snatch away even the clothes he is wearing as he departs. (90)
3. The man addicted to a courtesan neither respects the gods, nor the gurus, nor his friends and relatives, for he delights only in bad company. (91)
4. The courtesan, driven by the desire for wealth, looks upon even lepers as if they were Cupid, and displays feigned affection, but the wise should renounce such a heartless courtesan from a distance. (92)
5. Even the followers of the ascetic path should not serve their own wives with attachment, let alone the wives of others, which are the source of all sins. (93)
6. A woman who abandons her husband and indulges in an illicit relationship with another man, how can one have trust in the fickleness of her mind? (94)
