Verse 33

Tap any word for its meaning.

- । ॥ ३३ ॥

In plain words

Yama comes into view, and terror rises; the body shakes, pain tears through its vital points, the breath comes in gasps. Anyone who has watched a life-breath leave has seen this agony. Think it through — and who does not let go?

Close to the Sanskrit

The tremblings of fear risen from the sight of Yama, the wrenching pain in the vital points, the courses of gasping breath, and the agony seen plainly at the departure of the life-breath — having considered these, who indeed does not come to dispassion?
