If you live with thieves, your mind grows like theirs. When you see a rag, your thoughts will run out to appropriate it. If you live with lecherous men but a moment, when you see a girl, your thoughts will run after her. Renounce the love of the world and its entangling snares. I have but one thing to tell you, says Tuka, singe the consort of Rukmini.
