Paragraph 35

In plain words

"A man is sweeping when someone comes and says, 'Hey, so-and-so is gone; he's dead!' If the dead man is no relation of the sweeper's, he goes on sweeping and says now and then, 'Ah, so he's dead, is he! He was a good man!' And the broom keeps going all the while. But if he was one of his own, the broom drops from his hand, and he says 'Eh!' and sits down. Then the breath has become still; he cannot do any work or think any thought. Haven't you seen it among women? If one of them stands amazed at something she sees or hears, the others say, 'What, girl, has bhava come over you?' There too the breath has become still, so she stands amazed, open-mouthed."
