Translation
Thirst dries up the mouth; the man drinks water sweet and cool! If tormented by hunger, he swallows cooked rice with some embellishments like meat, curds, ghee etc. When the fire of passion burns, he tightly embraces his wife. People misconceive the remedying of some discomfort (illness) alone as happiness. ॥ 19 ॥
