TRANSLATION
My dear King, just try to understand the allegorical position of the deer. Be fully conscious of yourself and give up the pleasure of hearing about promotion to heavenly planets by fruitive activity. Give up household life, which is full of sex, as well as stories about such things, and take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead through the mercy of the liberated souls. In this way, please give up your attraction for material existence.
PURPORT
In one of his songs, Śrīla Narottama dāsa Thākura writes:
karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa, kevala viṣera bhāṇḍa, 
    amṛta baliyā yebā khāya 
    nānā yoni sadā phire, kadarya bhakṣaṇa kare, 
    tāra janma adhaḥ-pāte yāya
“Fruitive activities and mental speculation are simply cups of poison. Whoever drinks of them, thinking them to be nectar, must struggle very hard life after life, in different types of bodies. Such a person eats all kinds of nonsense and becomes condemned by his activities of so-called sense enjoyment.”
