यावत्पवनो निवसति देहेतावत्पृच्छति कुशलं गेहे ।गतवति वायौ देहापायेभार्या बिभ्यति तस्मिन्काये ॥ ६ ॥
In plain words
While life still moves through the body, everyone asks how we are. Once the breath has gone, even the person closest to us recoils from the lifeless form. Such is the body's passing place in our attachments.
Close to the Sanskrit
As long as breath dwells in the body, people at home ask after one's welfare. When the breath has departed and the body has fallen, even the wife fears that body.
