2. The mundane pleasures of the householders are worthless, absurd and momentary.
3. Man today abounds in fraud.
4. My misery caused by these afflictions is not permanent. 5. A householder is forced to respect even lowly persons.
6. Reversion to mundane ways is like consuming what has been vomited.
7. Reversion to mundane ways is accepting a hellish life. 8. Oh! It is very difficult to pursue the spiritual goal as a householder.
