UTTARADHYAYANA.
ANA.
The lines corresponding to the comparison in verse 24, run as follows:
Just as an impassioned snake which is allured by the smell of a drug, when it comes out of its hole. (50)
Just as an impassioned fish which is eager to swallow the bait, has its body transfixed by a hook. (63)
Just as an impassioned buffalo who dives in cold water, is taken hold of by a crocodile and dies. (76)
Just as an impassioned elephant who is inflamed by carnal desires, is turned from his way by a female elephant (and is captured and at last killed in battle). (89)]
Thus the objects of the senses and of the mind cause pain to passionate men, but they never in the least cause any pain to the dispassionate. (100)
Pleasant things (by themselves) do not cause indifference nor emotions (as anger, &c.); but by either hating or loving them, a man undergoes such a change through delusion. (101)
Anger, pride, deceit, greed; disgust, aversion to self-control and delight in sensual things l; mirth, fear, sorrow, carnal desire for women, men, or both; all these manifold passions arise in him who is attached to pleasures; and so do other emotions produced by those (before mentioned) arise in him who is to be pitied, who (ought to be) ashamed of himself, and who is hateful. (102, 103)
1 Arati and rati. Compare note on XXI, 21, where I have adopted another translation suited to the context. The first four numbers contain the cardinal passions; the rest the emotions which are called nô-kashaya.
