mourn their own fate (death) which will soon overtake them.
As there is no refuge for a deer from the attack of a lion in forest, there is no refuge for the living from the ever burning forest-fire-like sorrows of life.
श्रोत्रियः श्वपच स्वामी पत्तिब्रह्मा कृमिश्च सः । संसारनाट्ये नटवत् संसारी हन्त ! चेष्टते ॥६५॥ न याति कतमां योनि कतमा वा न मुञ्चति । संसारी कर्मसम्बन्धा-दवक्रयकुटीमिव ॥६६॥ FAFA #1igsfq fjaleq: Fa*fə: 1 वालानमपि तन्नास्ति यन्न स्पृष्टं शरीरिभिः ।।६७।।
Meaning : The jivas of this universe play varieties of roles on this stage of wordly life. Sometimes born as a Brahman well versed in vedas, a slave, a god, or an inseci. As a consequence of karmas, what category of life, like a rented abode, is left univisited by living being ?
In this entire universe there is not even a tip of hair where a jiva has not touched upon during the wanderings caused by the cycles of birth and death as the result of karmic bondage.
Explanation : Wordly jivas are of four categories, viz., 1. hellish, 2. animal, 3. human, and 4. heavenly beings. . All these creatures, bound by the karmas wander about in this world full of misery.
