anyac ca. yas tv ekavyasanayuktaḥ sa niyamena naśyati; kiṃ punaḥ saptavyasanābhibhūtaḥ? uktaṃ ca:

> Moreover, a man who is attacht to one of the vices is surely bound for perdition; how much more one who is subject to all seven? And it is said: 12. Since men are laid low even by one single vice, as Yudhiṣṭhira by gambling, the demon Baka by flesh-eating, the son of Yadu (Kṛṣṇa) by strong drink, Indra by lust after women, the king Brahmadatta by animal-slaying, Yayāti by theft, the great Rāvaṇa by adultery; who can escape destruction from (addiction to) all of them?
