In the Padma Purana, those who were my wife, father, brother, son, etc. in past lives, where have they gone? In truth, in this beginningless cycle of existence, the number of my relations is countless.
I have experienced countless pleasures in heaven and endured the burning flames of hell for the sake of enjoyment.
In the realm of animals, I have endured the suffering of being eaten by others and other forms of pain for a long time. I have experienced many such painful experiences in various forms of life.
I have heard the sounds of music played on flutes and lutes, and I have also heard the heart-wrenching cries of sorrow countless times.
I have touched the breasts of beautiful Apsaras and have also been chopped to pieces by a sharp axe.
I have tasted food that strengthens the body, is fragrant, and has six flavors. I have also drunk the molten lead and tin in the hell realms.
I have seen the most beautiful forms that melt the heart, and I have also seen the most terrifying forms that cause trembling and fear.
I have smelled the fragrant flowers that attract bees and bring joy, and I have also smelled the foul stench of decaying corpses that make people recoil.
I have embraced women who steal hearts and adorn themselves with playful ornaments, and I have also embraced the thorny, deceptive trees of the Salmalia.
As a slave to karma, what have I not done in this world? What have I not seen? What have I not smelled? What have I not heard? What have I not tasted?
There is no earth, no water, no fire, no air that has not been part of my body during my countless journeys through this world.
There is no living being in the three realms who has not been my father, etc., and there is no place where I have not lived.
The body, pleasures, etc., are impermanent. There is no refuge for anyone. This cycle of existence has four stages, and I am the one who is suffering and seeking liberation.
