7.15

"Thinking that desire can be obeyed, / indulging the mind without restraint, one cannot find peace. / Practicing close familiarity with what is contrary to Dharma, / how can one be considered virtuous? / Constantly in the three evil destinies, / turning round and round like a cartwheel; / even if a Buddha should appear in the world, / one is already unable to hear [his teaching]. / Women are the most evil, / difficult to form bonds with. / Once love and affection bind one fast, / they pull a person into the gate of sin. / What beauty is there in a woman? / It is nothing but all manner of impurities. / Why not carefully consider this, / instead of going mad for its sake? / Inside it is exceedingly foul and filthy, / though outside she adorns her appearance; / moreover, she harbors a poisonous sting, / fiercer than serpents and dragons. / It is also like a fish swallowing a hook, / or a flying moth entering a lamp flame: / wholeheartedly throwing oneself into lustful beauty, / heedless of the calamity to be suffered later."
