Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Yayāti was very much attached to woman. In due course of time, however, when disgusted with sexual enjoyment and its bad effects, he renounced this way of life and narrated the following story to his beloved wife.
Gauḍīya Ācāryas
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura
Gauḍīya
Translation
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, Yayāti, enjoying in this way and attached to woman, then considered he had been cheated, and, becoming disgusted, narrated the following story to his beloved wife.
In the Nineteenth Chapter, King Yayāti compares himself to a goat, becomes detached and attains Kṛṣṇa. His wife absorbs her mind in Kṛṣṇa and gives up her body. Kāmān ācaran means “he enjoyed.” Apahnavam means “he was cheated.”
