Anvaya

विषयःviṣayaḥ
The sense object
दोषेण तीव्रःdoṣeṇa tīvraḥ
is more dangerous
कृष्ण–सर्प–विषात् अपिkṛṣṇa–sarpa–viṣāt api
than the poison of a black serpent
विषंviṣaṃ
the poison
निहन्ति भोक्तारंnihanti bhoktāraṃ
kills the person who takes it
अयम्ayam
this (sense object)
द्रष्टारं चक्षुषा अपिdraṣṭāraṃ cakṣuṣā api
(kills) even the person who looks at it

Translation

The sense object is more dangerous than the poison of a black serpent. The poison consumes its taker whereas the sense object consumes even the person who looks at it.

Annotation

The person is killed in a figurative sense, as he cannot realise his Self because of attachment with sense objects (Jagadguru).
