Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 11 - Chapter 1 - Verse 18


Sanskrit:

क्व‍ायं मलीमस: कायो दौर्गन्ध्याद्यात्मकोऽशुचि: ।क्व‍ गुणा: सौमनस्याद्या ह्यध्यासोऽविद्यया कृत: ॥ १८ ॥

ITRANS:

kvāyaṁ malīmasaḥ kāyodaurgandhyādy-ātmako ’śuciḥkva guṇāḥ saumanasyādyāhy adhyāso ’vidyayā kṛtaḥ

Translation:

What is this polluted body anyway — so filthy and full of bad odors? I was attracted by the fragrance and beauty of a woman’s body, but what are those so-called attractive features? They are simply a false covering created by illusion.

Purport:

Purūravā now understands that although he was madly attracted to the fragrant, shapely body of Urvaśī, in fact that body was a sack of stool, gas, bile, mucus, hairs and other repugnant elements. In other words, Purūravā is now becoming sane.
