[526–
526) Carrying the flower-basket (in his hand) and preoccu- . pied (in his mind with thoughts of Dhattūraka flowers), the reli-- gious mendicant wanders in the back-yards of other people's houses; his mind passionately attached to Dhattūraka flowers, he does not leave off even one (Dhattūraka flower). [Secret meaning: Carrying the sexual apparatus hanging down like a basket, his mind preoccupied (with thoughts of Dhūrtārata) and passion-- ately attached to Dhūrtārata, he wanders in the back-yards of other people's houses. He does not let go even a single chance of Dhūrtärata.] . 527. Look, how the religious mendicant, disregarding (dis : carding) the easily accessible Dhattūraka flowers growing in the back-yards of houses, wanders in the forest for the sake of Kuravaka flowers. (Hidden sense. Disregardii g the easily obtainable Dhūtāratas-sexual dalliance with Dhūrtās in the back-yards of houses, he wanders about in the forest for the sake of kuratas).

Hidden sense : If you wish to practise sexual intercourse (deharaya), in the form of kāñcīratas, kanyaratas and dhürtāratas, then come to my house.]
529) The religious mendicant (gana = Dhārmika), not being able to secure Dhattūraka flowers, wanders about carrying the flower-basket, conniving at Mandāraka flowers, Kuravaka flowers and Bhrmgāraka (= Bhrmgarāja) flowers. [Secret meaning : Holding with his hand the sexual apparatus i.e. handling it again. and again, he, not being able to secure dhūrtārata, wanders about conniving at (discarding) mandārata, kurata and bhamgarata.]
530) Oh religious mer dicant, Dhattūraka flowers with blooming tips (foremost parts, apexes), possessed of gaudy colour and well-known (famous) for their honey (fural juice) are not obtained in the absence of religious merit (accumulated in a previous life). [Hidden sense : Dhürtāratas-sexual dalliances
