jaha karagayassa phāso | gojibbhāe ya sāgapattāṇaṃ /
etto vi aṇantaguṇo | lesāṇaṃ appasatthāṇaṃ ||18||

The touch of the bad Lêsyâs is infinitely worse than that of a saw, the tongue of a cow, or leaf of the Teak tree. (18)
The touch of the three good Lêsyâs is infinitely more pleasant than that of cotton, butter, or Sirîsha-flowers. (19)
