Tenth Dasa
The sensual pleasures (kama-bhoga) are impermanent, unstable, and subject to destruction and decay. They are characterized by the arising of excreta, urine, phlegm, saliva, mucus, wind, bile, and semen. They are associated with difficult inhalation and exhalation, and are filled with endless urine and feces. They are associated with vomiting, bile, and phlegm. One must certainly renounce them, both in the past and in the future.
Thus, O ascetic! I have indeed expounded the Dharma. This is the true Nirgrantha (Jain) doctrine. Whoever, for the sake of learning the Dharma, whether Nirgranthi or Nirgranthini, dwells, prior to the arising of sensual pleasures, until the arising of sensual pleasures is over, and then makes effort, and in making effort, attains dispassion towards human sensual pleasures - for, verily, human sensual pleasures are impermanent, unstable, and subject to destruction and decay. They are characterized by the arising of excreta, urine, phlegm, saliva, mucus, wind, bile, and semen. They are associated with difficult inhalation and exhalation, and are filled with endless urine and feces. They are associated with vomiting, bile, and phlegm. One must certainly renounce them, both in the past and in the future.
