三、訶香欲者,所謂男女身香、世間飲食馨香及一切熏香等,愚人不了香相,聞即愛著,開結使門。如一比丘在蓮華池邊,聞華香氣,心生愛樂,池神即大訶責:「何故偷我香氣?」以著香故,令諸結使臥者皆起。如是種種因緣知香過惡,如《摩訶衍》中廣說。

Third, scolding desire for fragrance: namely, the bodily fragrance of men and women, the scent of mundane food and drink, and all incense and perfumes. Foolish people do not understand the characteristics of fragrance, and upon smelling them, they love and cling to them, opening the gates of the defilements. For example, a monk by the side of a lotus pond smelled the fragrance of the flowers and generated love and delight in his mind; the pond spirit then severely scolded him: "Why are you stealing my fragrance?" Because of attachment to fragrance, all dormant defilements were aroused. Through such various conditions, know the faults and evils of fragrance, as extensively explained in the Mahāyāna [Treatise].
