Sanskrit Original
सब के हृदयँ मदन अभिलाषा। लता निहारि नवहिं तरु साखा।। नदीं उमगि अंबुधि कहुँ धाई। संगम करहिं तलाव तलाई।। जहँ असि दसा जड़न्ह कै बरनी। को कहि सकइ सचेतन करनी।। पसु पच्छी नभ जल थलचारी। भए कामबस समय बिसारी।। मदन अंध ब्याकुल सब लोका। निसि दिनु नहिं अवलोकहिं कोका।। देव दनुज नर किंनर ब्याला। प्रेत पिसाच भूत बेताला।। इन्ह कै दसा न कहेउँ बखानी। सदा काम के चेरे जानी।। सिद्ध बिरक्त महामुनि जोगी। तेपि कामबस भए बियोगी।।

The minds of all were seized with lust; the boughs of trees bent low at the sight of creepers. Rivers in spate rushed to meet the ocean; lakes and ponds united in love with one another. Where such was reported to be the case with the inanimate creation, who can relate the doings of sentient beings? Beasts that walk on land and birds traversing the air, and water lost all sense of time and became victims of lust. The whole world was blinded with passion and agitated. The Cakravka birds (ruddy geese)* regarded neither day nor night. Gods, demons, human beings, Kinnaras (a class of demigods), serpents, evil spirits, fiends, ghosts and vampiresI have refrained from dwelling on the condition of these, knowing them to be eternal slaves of passion. Even Siddhas (spiritual adepts), great sages who had no attraction for the world and Yogss (mystics) gave up their Yoga (contemplative union with God) under the influence of lust. (1-4)
