2.82

Fifth, scolding desire for tangibles: the bodily parts of men and women are soft, smooth, and delicate, warm in cold times and cool in hot times, along with all fine touches; foolish people lack wisdom, sink into them, and give rise to karma that obstructs the Path. For example, the One-Horned Ṛṣi (Ekaśṛṅga), due to desire for tangibles, lost his supernormal powers and was ridden on the neck by a courtesan. Through such various faults and transgressions of desire for tangibles, know them as extensively explained in the Mahāyāna [Treatise].
