Verse 324

Tap any word for its meaning.

In plain words

The instant forgetfulness catches even a wise man glancing toward the objects of the senses, it seizes him, clouding his mind fault by fault - the way a seductive woman draws her lover astray, step by step.

Close to the Sanskrit

Seeing [a] wise man even turned toward sense-objects, forgetfulness distracts him through faults of the intellect - like a woman [distracting] her beloved paramour.
