यद्वच्छाकाष्टादशमन्नं बहुभक्ष्यपेयवत् स्वादु । विषसंयुक्त भुक्त विपाककाले विनाशयति ॥१०८।। तद्वदुपचारसम्भृतरम्यकरागरससेविता विषयाः ।
भवशतपरम्परास्वपि दुःखविपाकानुबन्धकराः ॥१०९।। Just as sweet meal mixed with poison, though (prepared) with eighteen kinds of vegetables, various sweets and drinks, kills the enjoyer at the end; (and) similarly, sense-objects enjoyed with excessive attachment which is beautified by heap of flattery and meekness are causes of experience of affliction even in hundreds of series of births. 108-109.
