[...] If unsuccessful (vicyuti) the disappointment is great and it leads to needless apprehension of evil recollections of the past, a change of complexion and lamentation. These and other things happen therefore equally both in hunting and in the love of women Therefore hunting, too, is desirable for the attainment of the three objects of life.
