Sanskrit Original
-पुरुष त्यागि सक नारिहि जो बिरक्त मति धीर।। न तु कामी बिषयाबस बिमुख जो पद रघुबीर।।115(क)।। सोउ मुनि ग्याननिधान मृगनयनी बिधु मुख निरखि। बिबस होइ हरिजान नारि बिष्नु माया प्रगट।।115(ख)।।
puruṣa tyāgi saka nārihi jō birakta mati dhīra.. na tu kāmī biṣayābasa bimukha jō pada raghubīra..115ka.. sōu muni gyānanidhāna mṛganayanī bidhu mukha nirakhi. bibasa hōi harijāna nāri biṣnu māyā pragaṭa..115kha..
But that man alone who is unattached and resolute of mind can forwear woman- not the sensual voluptuary, who has turned his face against the feet of Sri Rama (the Hero of Raghu's line). But even such an enlightened sage, O mount of Sri Hari, succumbs to the charms of a pretty woman at the very sight of her moon-like face. It is God Visnu's own Maya (deluding potency) that manifests itself in the form of a woman!
