Text 37] The Lord’s Bodily Transformations 95

TRANSLATION

‘““‘When You play Your flute, it acts like a messenger in the form of a yogini
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 princi-
ples 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 help-
less.
