Line 56: − − श्रीमद्भागवते महापुराणे पारमहंस्यां संहितायामेकादशस्कन्धे श्रीकृष्णोद्धवसंवादे ऐलगीतं नाम षड्विंशोऽध्यायः ॥ २६॥ − === Aila-gita: The Song of Pururava (11.26.7–24) === − The ''Aila-gita'' also is part of the ''Uddhava-gita''. To explain how unfavorable association is a threat to one's position in devotional service, Lord Krishna gave the example of the emperor Pururava (also called Aila). Aila was bewildered by the association of the heavenly beauty Urvashi, and later became renounced after being separated from her. Expressing his contempt for undue attachment to the opposite sex, he sang a song called the ''Aila-gita'': − − "Persons who are attached to the body of a woman or a man – which is simply a mass of skin, meat, blood, bones, and so on – are not much different from worms. When one's mind is stolen away by the opposite sex, what is the worth of education, austerity, renunciation, Vedic knowledge, and so forth? Learned men should distrust their six mental enemies, headed by lust, and thus avoid degrading association." − − Thus Pururava was freed from illusion and eventually attained peace by realizing the Lord. − − http://btg.krishna.com/gitas-bhagavatam − − https://www.srimadbhagavatam.org/pdf/canto11-eng.pdf − − https://www.dlshq.org/download2/lordkrishna.pdf
