killed, The army does flee; So do the karmas vanish, When delusion has for ever
gone.

Sprouts do never come; So of the karmic seed decayed, Sprouts of samsāra do never

Is extinct with fuel exhausted; So do the karmas decay, When delusion for ever departs.
16. Relinquishing the body gross,
And the name and status; Also tearing up the life-span
and suffering, Pure he becomes, the Perfect
One.
14.
As a tree with roots dried up, Grows not even though
watered; So never rise the karmas, When delusion for ever
17. Thus enlightened, O long-lived
one, And with mind concentrated; Following the stairs pure, Purity does the soul attain.
