It is notorious, moreover, that many men who have given themselves up to pleasure alone, have been ruined along with their families and relations.

Indra, too, having violated the chastity of Ahalya,[8] was made to suffer for it.

In a like manner the mighty Kichaka,[9] who tried to seduce Draupadi, and Ravana,[10] who attempted to gain over Sita, were punished for their crimes.
