It is the penetrating eye

That gives clear vision;

It is the acute ear

That gives quick hearing;

It is the discriminating nose

That gives discernment of odours;

It is the practised mouth

That gives the delight of flavours;

It is the active mind

That acquires knowledge;

It is the far-reaching learning

That constitutes great virtue.

The womb encloses hollow inside;

The heart has its spontaneous

And enjoyable initiations.

If their apartments were not roomy,

Wife and mother-in-law

Would be bickering all day;

If the heart had not its spontaneous

And enjoyable initiations,

All the mentioned above faculties

Of perception would be

In mutual clash and depravity.
