Translation
Even great Sages like Vishvaamitra (fell for Menakaa) and Paraashara (fell for MatsyaGandhi) who lived only on air, water, or leaf (when engaged in penance), were overcome by passion the moment their eyes fell on the charming lotus face of a woman! If sense control is ever possible for those men who eat high quality rice mixed with ghee, milk and curds, then surely Vindhya Mountain will float on the ocean surface. (Impossible!) ॥ 80 ॥
