Jihva Tane Rasa Prati
jihva tane rasa prati upastha kadarthe
udara bhojane tane visama anarthe
Dragged by tongue towards a taste, by genital to perversion; needlessly the belly craves lavish food consumption.
carmma tane sayadite,
sravana kathaya ghrana tane surabhite caksu drsye yaya
The skin demands luxurious comforts, the ear demands sweet talks; the nose demands sweet fragrance, as the eye for scenery looks.
karmendriya karme sane bahu-patni yatha
grha-pati akarsaya mora mana tatha
Like a man with many wives, splayed by their demands - thus the mind is dragged by the senses' commands.
e mata avastha mora sri-nandanandana
ki rupe tomara lila kariba smarana
O dear son of Nanda, this is my situation; how will Your sweet pastimes be my heart's contemplation?"
