“Dvipādakoyaṁ asuci, duggandho parihīrati; Nānākuṇapaparipūro, vissavanto tato tato.
Sabbakāmi
This two-legged body is dirty and stinking, full of different carcasses, and oozing all over the place— but still it is cherished!
Migaṁ nilīnaṁ kūṭena, baḷiseneva ambujaṁ; Vānaraṁ viya lepena, bādhayanti puthujjanaṁ.
Like a lurking deer by a trick, like a fish by a hook, like a langur by tar— they trap an ordinary person.
Rūpā saddā rasā gandhā, phoṭṭhabbā ca manoramā; Pañca kāmaguṇā ete, itthirūpasmi dissare.
Sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and touches so delightful: these five kinds of sensual stimulation are seen in a woman’s body.
Ye etā upasevanti, rattacittā puthujjanā; Vaḍḍhenti kaṭasiṁ ghoraṁ, ācinanti punabbhavaṁ.
Those ordinary people, their minds full of lust, who pursue those women: they swell the horrors of the charnel ground, piling up future lives.
Yo cetā parivajjeti, sappasseva padā siro; Somaṁ visattikaṁ loke, sato samativattati.
One who, being mindful, avoids them like a snake’s head with their foot, gets over clinging to the world.
Kāmesvādīnavaṁ disvā, nekkhammaṁ daṭṭhu khemato; Nissaṭo sabbakāmehi, patto me āsavakkhayo”ti.
Seeing the danger in sensual pleasures, seeing renunciation as sanctuary, I’ve escaped all sensual pleasures, and attained the ending of defilements.
