________________ अष्टकप्रकरणम् 79 vinayena samārādhya varadābhimukham sthitam. jagurmadyam tathā hiṁsāṁ sevas vābrahma vecchayā. sa evaṁ gaditastābhirdvayornarakahetutām. ālocya madyarūpaṁ ca śuddhakāraṇapūrvakam. madyam prapadya tadbhogānnastadharmasthitirmadāt. vidamśārthamajaṁ hatvā sarvameva cakāra sah. tataśca bhrașțasāmarthyaḥ sa mộtvā durgatim gataḥ. itthaí doşākaro madyam vijñeyaṁ dharmacāribhiḥ. The above parable is like this. A sage performed severe penances. Indra, the lord of gods, frightened at this, sent celestial damsels to disturb his penances. Descending from the heaven, they humbly, adored the benefactor sage who became pleased with their act. They ( damsels ) told him to enjoy liquor or meat or coupulation as per his liking. The sage addressed by them in this manner, considered the last two as causes of hell and the former one as an essence, prepared through gudaghee etc. pure constituents, hence decided to drink liquor. By consuming it, he was deviated from prescribed rites and became intoxicated. To subside the effect of intoxication, he killed goat and ate meat and enjoyed sex and thus performed all the vicious practices. Thereafter, all the virility of his penances having vanished, he went to hell after demise. Thus, virtuous should be aware that wine is the mine of sins.
