Sūta said: Thus were the brahmins addressed of old by Vyāsa of measureless splendour. Having said just this much, the lord Vyāsa, son of Satyavatī,

How can there be devotion to Hari for men who cultivate devotion to women, O twice-born? Demonesses in the guise of lovely women walk the world, O twice-born; they constantly make a mouthful of men's intelligence, (though seeming) friendly.
