2.56
iha hi madhura-gītaṃ nṛtyam etad-raso 'yaṃ
sphurati parimalo 'sau sparśa eṣa stanānām |
iti hata-paramārthair indriyair bhrāmyamāṇaḥ
sva-hita-karaṇa-dhūrtaiḥ pañcabhir vañcito 'smi ||
"Here is sweet song; this is dance; here is aesthetic relish; / here shines fragrance; this is the touch of breasts": / thus led astray by the senses that have destroyed the highest truth, / rogue-like when procuring their own interests, I have been deceived by the five [senses].
