Just as a male off-spring of a goat, (a he-goat) is brought up by feeding him with milk and food, and at last he is killed by cutting his neck.

Just as a small boat is loaded with excessive baggage, then it sinks in the middle of a river where the water is more turbulent. It cannot reach the far bank.

Just as a prostitute adorns herself with make up and ornaments to excite other males for indulging in vices with her, she herself acquires disease and worry in life.

Similarly, an immoral person dies before his death by indulging in unrighteous deeds. And when he reaches Yamlok (abode of angels of death), he bears more punishment and pain. (636)
