(1) I indulged in sex with humans, gods, tirynach (birds and degraded) myself indulging in lust and adultery, Oh God! (2)
possessions, which had to be left behind in every birth Alas ! I retained nothing but sins of doing these.
I took meals at night, ate forbidden food (Abhadshya) and killed many living beings, many a sin of violence, I did to satisfy my lust for taste.
