ददर्श कामिनं कचिच्छूद्रं सह भुजिष्यया ।
क्रीडन्तमनुगायन्तं हसन्तमनयाऽन्तिके ॥

"This person (Ajamila) was a Brahmin,
endowed with learning and the abode of
character, conduct and other virtues;
once, having gone to the forest to do the
bidding of his father, he saw a lewd low-
caste fellow in the company of a harlot,
dallying, singing and laughing with her
who was by his side.

'दृष्ट्वा तां कामलिप्तेन बाहुना परिरम्भिताम् ।
जगाम हृच्छयवश सहसैव विमोहितः ॥
 
"Seeing her embraced by that lustful
person with his arm, this Ajamila became
infatuated at once and a prey to passion.
 
'तामेव मनसा ध्यायन् स्वधर्माद्विरराम है।
तामेव तोषयामास पित्र्येणार्थेन यावता ॥
 
" Thinking of her alone, he stopped
performing his Dharma; and with all his
available patrimony, he satisfied her alone.
 
• विप्रां स्वभार्यामप्रौढां कुले महति लम्भिताम् ।
विससर्जाचिरात्पापः स्वैरिण्यापाङ्गविधीः ॥
