the grains of dust
drink up the blood
the scavengers
fight over it
the jackals
gnaw the hairless skin
the prANa forces
fade away
&
soon the wanton's lolling legs are now so sleek no longer
.
when this is explained to a man,
how can he go on chasing her
?
~vlm.29 Behold their blood sucked in by the dust of the earth, voracious beasts and worms feeding upon their flesh, jackals tearing their skin, and their vital air dispersed in the vacuum.
~vlm.30 This is the state to which the members of the female body must shortly come to pass. You say all existence is delusion. Therefore tell me, why do you allow yourselves to fall into error?

*vwv.74 What possibly is the beauty of a woman who is a puppet doll of flesh endowed with muscles, bones, and joints in the string.tossed bodily cage?
*vlm.1 Rama added:—What beauty is there in the person of a woman, composed of nerves, bones and joints? She is a mere statue of flesh, and a frame of moving machinery with her ribs and limbs.

* a thigh is often, in samskRta.loka, compared with an elephant's trunk.
