### SB 4.2.23

> बुद्ध्या पराभिध्यायिन्या विस्मृतात्मगतिः पशुः ।\
> स्त्रीकामः सोऽस्त्वतितरां दक्षो बस्तमुखोऽचिरात् ॥२३॥

> buddhyā parābhidhyāyinyā\
> vismṛtātma-gatiḥ paśuḥ\
> strī-kāmaḥ so 'stv atitarāṁ\
> dakṣo basta-mukho 'cirāt

*buddhyā*—by intelligence; *para-abhidhyāyinyā*—by accepting the body as the self; *vismṛta-ātma-gatiḥ*—having forgotten the knowledge of Viṣṇu; *paśuḥ*—an animal; *strī-kāmaḥ*—attached to sex life; *saḥ*—he (Dakṣa); *astu*—let; *atitarām*—excessive; *dakṣaḥ*—Dakṣa; *basta-mukhaḥ*—the face of a goat; *acirāt*—in a very short time.

**Dakṣa has accepted the body as all in all. Therefore, since he has forgotten the Viṣṇupāda or Viṣṇugati and is attached to sex life only, within a short time he will have the face of a goat.**
