āvartaḥ saṃśayānām avinaya-bhuvanaṃ paṭṭaṇaṃ sāhasānāṃ
doṣāṇāṃ sannidhānaṃ kapaṭa-śata-mayaṃ kṣetram apratyayānām |
svarga-dvārasya vighno naraka-pura-mukha sarvamāyākaraṇḍaṃ
strī-yantraṃ kena sṛṣṭaṃ viṣam amṛtamayaṃ prāṇi-lokasya pāśaḥ ||
A whirlpool of doubts, an abode of insolence, a city of rash deeds, / a receptacle of faults, a field filled with a hundred deceptions and mistrust, / an obstacle at the door of heaven, the entrance to the city of hell, a casket of all illusions— / by whom was this contraption of woman created, poison made of nectar, a snare for the living world?
