न जातु काम: कामानामुपभोगेन शाम्यति । हविषा कृष्णवर्त्मेव भूय एवाभिवर्धते ॥ १४ ॥
na jatu kamah kamanam upabhogena samyati havisa krsna-vartmeva bhuya evabhivardhate
- na
- not
- jatu
- at any time
- kamah
- lusty desires
- kamanam
- of persons who are very lusty
- upabhogena
- by enjoyment of lusty desires
- samyati
- can be pacified
- havisa
- by supplying butter
- krsna-vartma
- fire
- iva
- like
- bhuyah
- again and again
- eva
- indeed
- abhivardhate
- increases more and more.
As supplying butter to a fire does not diminish the fire but instead increases it more and more, the endeavor to stop lusty desires by continual enjoyment can never be successful (In fact, one must voluntarily cease from material desires.)
