vipram-the daughter of a brahmana; sva-bharyam-his wife; apraudham-not very old (youthful); kule-from a family; mahati-very respectable; lambhitam-married; visasarja-he gave up; acirat-very soon; papah-being sinful; svairinya-of the prostitute; apaṅga-viddha-dhih-his intelligence pierced by the lustful glance.

TRANSLATION

Because his intelligence was pierced by the lustful glance of the prostitute, the victimized brahmana Ajamila engaged in sinful acts in her association. He even gave up the company of his very beautiful young wife, who came from a very respectable brahmana family.

PURPORT

Customarily everyone is eligible to inherit his father's property, and Ajamila also inherited the money of his father. But what did he do with the money? Instead of engaging the money in the service of Krsna, he engaged it in the service of a prostitute. Therefore he was condemned and was punishable by Yamaraja. How did this happen? He was victimized by the dangerous lustful glance of a prostitute.
