🪷 ŚB 11.8.13

Sanskrit, transliteration, word meanings, and translation for steady Bhāgavata reading.

Sanskrit

पदापि युवतीं भिक्षुर्न स्पृशेद् दारवीमपि । स्पृशन् करीव बध्येत करिण्या अङ्गसङ्गत: ॥ १३ ॥

Transliteration

padāpi yuvatīṁ bhikṣur na spṛśed dāravīm api spṛśan karīva badhyeta kariṇyā aṅga-saṅgataḥ
Synonyms
padā — with the foot; api — even; yuvatīm — a young girl; bhikṣuḥ — a saintly mendicant; na — not; spṛśet — should touch; dāravīm — made of wood; api — even; spṛśan — touching; karī — the elephant; iva — like; badhyeta — becomes captured; kariṇyāḥ — of the she-elephant; aṅga-saṅgataḥ — by contact with the body.

Translation

A saintly person should never touch a young girl. In fact, he should not even let his foot touch a wooden doll in the shape of a woman. By bodily contact with a woman he will surely be captured by illusion, just as the elephant is captured by the she-elephant due to his desire to touch her body.
