एक एव पदार्थस्तु त्रिधा भवति वीक्षितः।
कुणपः कामिनी मांसं योगिभिः कामिभिः श्वभिः॥
eka eva padārthastu tridhā bhavati vīkṣitaḥ|
kuṇapaḥ kāminī māṁsaṁ yogibhiḥ kāmibhiḥ śvabhiḥ||
A quote from Chanakya again
The very same object the human body (especially of female) is looked upon by three different persons differently
Just as if it is a human corpse by a recluse or sage who has abandoned all worldly pleasures
As the most lovely and desirable companion by the lover
As just a lump of flesh by a dog
एक एव पदार्थः तु just the one and the same object
त्रिधा भवति becomes (perceived as) three (different things) योगिभिः वीक्षितः कुणपः when seen by a recluse of sage as human corpse
कामिभिः वीक्षितः कामिनी when seen by an amorous companion as the most lovable and desirable woman
श्वभिः वीक्षितः मांसं when seen by a dog as a mere lump of flesh
