Syair 284

 

Selama belukar nafsu leinginan lelaki terhadap wanita belum dihancurkan, betapa pun kecilnya, selama itu pula hatinya terbelenggu, bagaikan seekor anak sapi yang masih terikat menyusu pada induknya.

 

Sasuwene grumbulaning napsu pepinginane priya marang wanita durung kasirnakake kanthi resik, ing salawase wong iku isih tansah kabanda dening panguripan, kayadene anak sapi kang isih nusu; uripe tansah gumantung marang biyunge.

 

 

So long as the desire of man towards women, even the smallest, is not destroyed, so long is his mind in bondage, as the calf that drinks milk is to its mother.

 

yava hi vanatho na chijjati

anumattopi narassa nrisu

patibaddhammano va tva so

vaccho khrapakova mtari
