1292 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 4, Ch. 28
TRANSLATION

When the city was thus endangered by the soldiers and Kalakanya, King
Puranjana, being overly absorbed in affection for his family, was placed in
difficulty by the attack of Yavana-raja and Kalakanya.

PURPORT

When we refer to the body, we include the external gross body with its
various limbs, as well as the mind, intelligence and ego. In old age these all
become weak when they are attacked by different diseases. The proprietor
of the body, the living soul, becomes very sad at not being able to use the
field of activities properly. In Bhagavad-gita it is clearly explained that the
living entity is the proprietor of this body (ksetra-jia) and that the body
is the field of activities (ksetra). When a field is overgrown with thorns and
weeds, it becomes very difficult for the owner to work it. That is the
position of the spirit soul when the body itself becomes a burden due to
disease. Extra burdens are placed on the body in the form of anxiety and
general deterioration of the bodily functions.

TRANSLATION

When King Purafijana was embraced by Kalakanya, he gradually lost all
his beauty. Having been too much addicted to sex, he became very poor
in intelligence and lost all his opulence. Being bereft of all possessions, he
was conquered forcibly by the Gandharvas and the Yavanas.
