शशंस हृच्छयं तीव्र ब्रीडमान: स धर्मवित् । धर्मज्ञ नारदने लज्जावश भानजे महात्मा पर्वतको अपने बढ़े हुए दुःसह कामकी बात नहीं बतायी ।। तपसा चेड़ितैश्वैव पर्वतो5थ बुबोध तम्

ແມ່ນແຕ່ລາວເປັນຜູ້ຮູ້ທຳ ກໍຍັງເວົ້າເຖິງຄວາມປາຖະໜາອັນຮຸນແຮງທີ່ຊ່ອນຢູ່ໃນໃຈ ດ້ວຍຄວາມອາຍ. ແຕ່ເນື່ອງຈາກຄວາມຂີ້ອາຍ ພາຣະວະຕະ (Parvata) ຜູ້ມີໃຈຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່ ບໍ່ໄດ້ເລົ່າໃຫ້ນາຣະດະ (Nārada) ຜູ້ຮູ້ທຳ ຟັງເຖິງກາມະຕັນຫາທີ່ເພີ່ມພູນ ແລະທົນບໍ່ໄດ້ນັ້ນ. ຕໍ່ມາ ພາຣະວະຕະຈຶ່ງເຂົ້າໃຈມັນ ໂດຍຖືກກະຕຸ້ນດ້ວຍຕະປະ (austerity) ແລະດ້ວຍພະລັງທີ່ຖືກປຸກໃຫ້ເຄື່ອນໄຫວແລ້ວ.

Educational Q&A
Even a dharma-knower can be shaken by intense desire; ethical strength includes honest self-awareness and restraint. The verse highlights how shame/modesty can both signal moral sensitivity and also prevent timely disclosure, implying the need to face inner impulses wisely rather than letting them grow unbearable.
Parvata, though righteous, is afflicted by a powerful inner desire. He feels ashamed and therefore does not fully reveal the unbearable nature of his passion to the sage Nārada. Subsequently, through austerity and the pressures acting upon him, he comes to a clearer realization of the situation.
