The Lord's Bodily Transformations
95
TRANSLATION
“‘When You play Your flute, it acts like a messenger in the form of a yoginī perfect in the art of chanting mantras. This messenger enchants all the women in the universe and attracts them to You. Then she increases their great anxiety and induces them to give up the regulative principle of obeying superiors. Finally, she forcibly brings them to You to surrender in amorous love.

TRANSLATION
“‘The vibration of Your flute, accompanied by Your glance, which pierces us forcibly with the arrows of lust, induces us to ignore the regulative principles of religious life. Thus we become excited by lusty desires and come to You, giving up all shame and fear. But now You are angry with us. You are finding fault with our violating religious principles and leaving our homes and husbands. And as You instruct us about religious principles, we become helpless.

অন্যকথা, অন্যমন,      বাহিরে অন্য আচরণ, এই সব শঠ-পরিপাটী । তুমি জান পরিহাস,      হয় নারীর সর্বনাশ, ছাড় এই সব কুটীনাটী ॥ ৩৭ ॥
