AVIRAKTHO MAHAAMOHAATH LOKEYSMIN SAHAPRAVARTHATHEY.

LABDHVAAPI MAANAVANDEYHAM MOKSHAM NEYCHCHATHI KIMVACHAHA.

Meaning- Man who is deluded by material desires (as a result of previous karma) enjoys pleasures with his wife and children. Despite having attained the human body as a result of past good karma, man still does not aspire for salvation. What to say about such a state of man?

MOORKHAANAAMHI BHAVEYDITHDHAM DHIKTHEYSHAAM JANMANISHPHALAM.

Meaning- Foolish human beings are desirous of material pleasures when their bodies are strong and healthy, when their bodies lose strength and become weak these ignorant people are worried about diseases and falling sick. Human birth is wasted on such people and do not attain My Grace.

MALAMOOTHRAALAYAM THUCHCHAM RAKTHAMAAMSAASDHIPANJARAM.

THADDHITHAM MOHITHAM KRUTHVAA PAATHAYATHYAVASHAM BHRUSHAM.
