TRANSLATION
Alas, although I am supposed to be a mighty emperor, the crown jewel of all kings on this earth, just see how my bewilderment has rendered me a toy animal in the hands of women!
PURPORT
Since the king's body had become fully engaged in satisfying the superficial desires of women, his body was now like a toy animal in their hands.
