Translation
I have been deceived by five self-interested cheats (senses) as ‘This is the sweet song’ (removes the restlessness of the mind) ‘This is the dance’ (delights the eyes) ‘This is the taste’ (honey like lips) ‘The fragrance emanates here’ (the fragrance belonging to the Padmini type of women) ‘This is the touch of the breasts’ (titillates) Thus I have been led around by these wretched cheats of senses which are only interested in their own enjoyments and was dragged away from the ‘Supreme Truth’. ॥ 56 ॥
