28. Sometimes, embraced with both her creeper-like arms by the woman who is no other than the Almighty Lord's deluding power, he loses his sense of discrimination and wisdom; with his heart anxious about building in the grove a pleasure-house for her, and in that relation to her he surrenders his heart to sons, daughters, and to that wife, to their utterances and looks and actions; and having thereby lost control over his mind he consigns himself to the shoreless hell of blinding darkness.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
