Passage 9

In English

When one emerges from the womb of the mother, there is no garland around the neck. There are no jewels made of pearls, nor are there glittering gold ornaments. There are no necklaces studded with precious stones like emeralds and diamonds. But there is one garland around the neck. strings together the consequences of past deeds into a heavy garland and puts it around his neck at the time of birth. (Telugu Poem)
