: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

վṣaԳٲ (विषयाक्रान्त) refers to “one being drawn to worldly enjoyment� [?], according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.24 (“Śiva consents to marry Pārvatī�).—Accordingly, as Śiva said to Viṣṇu: “[...] Anyone bound with nooses of iron and timber can secure release but one bound with nooses of women never frees oneself. Worldly enjoyment tightens the bondage. Salvation is inaccessible to a man drawn to worldly enjoyment [i.e., ṣaԳٲṣaṃtԲ�] even in his dream. If he wishes for happiness, an intelligent man shall duly forsake all worldly pleasures. Worldly enjoyment that dooms persons is on a par with poison. [...]�.
