यत एवागतः पृथ्व्यां तस्मिन्नेव पुना रमेत् । यतः प्रसरते नित्यं मूत्रं रेतो मलोत्थितम्
yata evāgataḥ pṛthvyāṃ tasminneva punā ramet | yataḥ prasarate nityaṃ mūtraṃ reto malotthitam

Concept: Meditation on bodily impurity (aśubha) breaks erotic fascination; what one returns to is a source of continual impurity—therefore seek higher delight in dharma and devotion.
Application: When desire surges, practice aśubha-anusmṛti (remembering bodily processes) to cool the mind; then replace with positive bhakti—nāma-japa, reading, service, and regulated conduct.
