Verse 4.23.50

इच्छतोऽन्योज्झितां जायां यथैवान्येन हस्यते ।
इन्द्रियस्येच्छतो भोगं तद्वज्ज्ञेन विहस्यते ॥ ५० ॥

icchato'nyojjhitāṃ jāyāṃ yathaivānyena hasyate |
indriyasyecchato bhogaṃ tadvajjñena vihasyate || 50 ||

The sensualist eager for the gratification of his senses, are as much ridiculed by the wise; as a man who takes to him a woman deserted by another, is derided by his tribe.
