Translation

Even a learned man gets infatuated; feels happy; enjoys; and after looking at the woman, the skin-bag filled with dirt standing in front of his eye, eulogizes her as attractive; lotus-eyed; with well-formed hips; with breasts huge and high; with a lotus-like face; with beautiful eye-brows and so on! Ah! The evil ways of delusion! ॥ 41 ॥
