VerseThe Delight of Krishna

Verse 5·22

The pleasure of the senses is temporary

Verse

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते ।आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः ॥

ye hi saṃsparśajā bhogā duḥkhayonaya eva teādyantavantaḥ kaunteya na teṣu ramate budhaḥ

The enjoyments born of the touches of things are causes of sorrow, they have a beginning and an end; therefore the sage, the man of awakened understanding, budhaḥ, does not place his delight in these.
