TRANSLATION

Sometimes, in order to have a little insignificant sex enjoyment,
one searches after debauched women. In this attempt, one is in-
sulted and chastised by the women’s kinsmen. This is like going to
take honey from a beehive and being attacked by the bees. Some-
times, after spending lots of money, one may acquire another
woman for some extra sense enjoyment. Unfortunately, the object
of sense enjoyment, the woman, is taken away or kidnapped by
another debauchee.

PURPORT

In a great forest, honeycombs are very important. People often go
there to collect honey from the combs, and sometimes the bees attack and
punish them. In human society, those who are not Krsna conscious
remain in the forest of material life simply for the honey of sex life. Such
debauchees are not at all satisfied with one wife. They want many
women. Day after day, with great difficulty, they try to secure such
women, and sometimes. while trying to taste this kind of honey. one is
attacked by a woman’s kinsmen and chastised very heavily. By bribing
others, one may secure another woman for enjoyment. vet another
debauchee may kidnap her or offer her something better. This woman
hunting is going on in the forest of the material world. sometimes legally
and sometimes illegally. Consequently in this Krsna consciousness move-
ment the devotees are forbidden to have illicit sex. Thus they avoid so
many difficulties. One should remain satisfied with one woman. being
duly married. One can satisfy one’s lusty desires with his wife without
creating disturbances in society and being punished for doing so.
