Translation
King Aila said: Alas, just see the extent of my delusion! This goddess was embracing me and held my neck in her grip. My heart was so polluted by lust that I had no idea how my life was passing.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
King Aila said: Alas, just see the extent of my delusion! She held my neck in her grip and my heart became polluted by lust. Thus I had no idea how my life was passing.
My heart griped by lust, my life has been spent up.
