Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 16


Sanskrit:

बोधितस्यापि देव्या मे सूक्तवाक्येन दुर्मते: ।मनोगतो महामोहो नापयात्यजितात्मन: ॥ १६ ॥

ITRANS:

bodhitasyāpi devyā mesūkta-vākyena durmateḥmano-gato mahā-mohonāpayāty ajitātmanaḥ

Translation:

Because I allowed my intelligence to become dull and because I failed to control my senses, the great confusion in my mind did not go away, even though Urvaśī herself gave me wise counsel with well-spoken words.

Purport:

As described in the Ninth Canto of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, the goddess Urvaśī plainly told Purūravā that he should never trust women or believe their promises. Despite this frank advice, he became fully attached and thus suffered great mental anguish.
