Verse 30

³⁰In a body begun out of the five elements, the embodied one, with no understanding, takes hold again and again of what is not so, and his ruined mind forms the thought I and mine. ³¹For the body's sake he does the acts by which, bound, he goes into the round of birth; and the body comes after him dealing out pain, since he is tied fast by ignorance and by act. ³²And if on the road the creature settles again among the untrue, whose whole effort goes to the organ and the belly, and takes his pleasure there, he enters the dark as before. ³³Truth, cleanness, pity, quiet, understanding, splendour, modesty, good name, patience, calm of mind, mastery of the senses and prosperity: by keeping that company all of these wear away to nothing.

³⁴One should keep no company with them, the unquiet and the confused, whose selves are broken and who are not good, who are to be pitied, tame deer in the hands of women. ³⁵No other clinging brings a man such confusion and such bondage as clinging to a woman does, or as clinging to those who cling to women.
