1. Obsession of the Mind - 8

DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)

1"Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other odour that so obsesses the mind of a woman as the odour of a man. The odour of a man obsesses the mind of a woman."

1"Nāhaṁ, bhikkhave, aññaṁ ekagandhampi samanupassāmi yaṁ evaṁ itthiyā cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhati yathayidaṁ, bhikkhave, purisagandho. Purisagandho, bhikkhave, itthiyā cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhatī"ti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
