ইন্দ্রিয়ে না করি রোষ, ইঁহা-সবার কাহাঁ দোষ, কৃষ্ণরূপাদির মহা আকর্ষণ ।
রূপাদি পাঁচ পাঁচে টানে, গেল ঘোড়ার পরাণে, মোর দেহে না রহে জীবন ॥ ১৮ ॥
রূপাদি পাঁচ পাঁচে টানে, গেল ঘোড়ার পরাণে, মোর দেহে না রহে জীবন ॥ ১৮ ॥

Translation
“My dear friend, if you say, ‘Just try to control Your senses,’ what shall I say? I cannot become angry at My senses. Is it their fault? Kṛṣṇa’s beauty, sound, touch, fragrance and taste are by nature extremely attractive. These five features are attracting My senses, and each wants to drag My mind in a different direction. In this way the life of My mind is in great danger, just like a horse ridden in five directions at once. Thus I am also in danger of dying.
