1174 Stimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 25
ndradah uvdca—the great sage Narada continued to speak; ittham—upon
this; purafijanam—unto Puraiijana; nari—the woman; yacamanam— begging;
adhira-vat—being too impatient; abhyanandata—she addressed; tam—him;
viram—the hero; hasanti—smiling; vira—O hero; mohita—being attracted
by him.
TRANSLATION
Narada continued: My dear King, when Purahjana became so attracted
and impatient to touch the girl and enjoy her, the girl also became attracted
by his words and accepted his request by smiling. By this time she was
certainly attracted by the King.
PURPORT
By this incident we can understand that when a man is aggressive and
begins to woo a woman, the woman becomes attracted to the man. This
process is described in the Bhagavatam as pumsah striya mithuni-bhavam
etam (Bhag. 5.5.8). This attraction is enacted on the platform of sexual
life. Thus the sex impulse is the platform of material engagement. This
conditional life, the platform of material sense enjoyment, is the cause of
forgetfulness of spiritual life. In this way a living entity’s original Krsna
consciousness becomes covered or converted into material consciousness.
Thus one engages in the business of sense gratification.
