( Madyapānadūşaņāstakam ]
madyari punaḥ pramādārga tathā saccittanāśanam. sandhānadoșavattatra na dosa iti sāhasam.
Wine causes intoxication, destroys auspicious mind, inherits multiple defects like that of a compound ( a solution of virtuous mixtures ), hence maintaining there is no sin' is fool hardiness.
kiṁ veha bahunoktena pratyakşeņaiva drśyate. doso'sya vartamāne’pi tathā bhandanalakṣaṇaḥ.
What is the use of telling to much about its ( liquor's) sins etc. here which are very obvious. Its hazards, as well as its effects ( in form of the ) altercations are ever present even today.
śrūyate ca rșirmadyāt prāptajyotirmahātapāḥ. svargārganābhirākṣipto mūrkhavannidhanam gataḥ.
It is heard that a sage, who was great ascetic, blessed with the light of the Supreme spirit, having been rebuked by celestial damsels because of consuming wine died away, like a fool.
kaścidrşistapastepe bhītaḥ indraḥ surastriyaḥ. kṣobhāya preṣayāmāsa tasyāgatya ca tāstakas.
