Ashok Ji, what you say about 'vyasana' is absolutely correct. However I have also seen 'vyasana' used for calamity/hard-time (as in vipatti) at many places too. In the context of this aphorism, "vyasane yojayet shatruM": either meanings might appear appropriate - a) engage enemy in addictions, b) make enemy come to calamities/grief. However I thought the latter made more sense.
