|| 5.14.7 ||

kvacic cāśeṣa-doṣa-niṣadanaṁ purīṣa-viśeṣaṁ tad-varṇa-guṇa-nirmita-matiḥ suvarṇam upāditsaty agni-kāma-kātara ivolmuka-piśācam.

Sometimes, when his mind becomes absorbed in gold, the color of rajoguṇa, which is the source of unlimited faults, he desires to possess gold, just as a person suffering from cold, desiring fire, chases after a glowing ghost.

This verse explains the firebrand mentioned in SB 5.13.3. The jīva’s mind is absorbed in the stool of Agni, gold, which is reddish, the color of rajoguṇa.  He desires to take other’s possessions, represented by gold. He desires to go to hell. This is like a person who, wandering in the forest, anxious for fire to relieve himself of the cold, chases after the glow of a ghost, thinking it to be fire. He does this till he dies.

atha kadācin nivāsa-pānīya-draviṇādy-anekātmopajīvanābhiniveśa etasyāṁ saṁsārāṭavyām itas tataḥ paridhāvati.

Sometimes, absorbed in maintaining himself with various items such as house, water and wealth, he runs here and there in the forest of saṁsāra.

This verse describes SB 5.13.4.

kvacic ca vātyaupamyayā pramadayāroham āropitas tat-kāla-rajasā rajanī-bhūta ivāsādhu-maryādo rajas-valākṣo 'pi dig-devatā atirajas-vala-matir na vijānāti.

Sometimes he places on his lap a beautiful woman, like a whirlwind, and by the impulse of passion, like dust, ignoring the rules of good conduct, his intelligence becomes blinded by passion, like getting dust in his eye, and he cannot recognize the devatās of the directions who are witnesses, and have become invisible to him.

This verse explains the whirlwind. Having a woman on his lap is like being afflicted by a whirlwind. His vision is covered by the impulse of passion, like being covered by dust. His intelligence becomes blinded by lust and he does not recognize the devatās of the directions such as the sun and fire, who witnesses, who have become invisible (rajanī-bhūta).
