A woman, knowing the nature of men, invites them to a place with a comfortable bed and seat. A wise sage should recognize these as various forms of entrapment.
**Commentary:**
The term "shayanasana" refers to a place for lying down, such as a bed or a couch, while "asana" refers to a place for sitting, such as a chair or a stool. The word "yogya" means suitable or appropriate. The phrase "striyo ekada" means women, at some point in time. The word "nimantrayanti" means they invite.
The sage should understand that these invitations are not simply offers of comfort, but rather traps set by women to ensnare men. The phrase "virup रूपान्" means various forms or appearances.
The saying goes, "Just as a vine climbs the nearest tree, whether it be mango or neem, so too do women desire the nearest man."
Therefore, a sage should avoid associating with women, as their allure can be difficult to resist. As the saying goes, "If you wish to catch something, first catch it with a hook. Once caught in the hook of desire, one will do both good and bad deeds."
**Note:** The Jain terms "paasha" (trap) and "virup रूपान्" (various forms) are preserved in the translation.
