Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
By not injuring any creatures, by detaching the senses (from objects of enjoyment), by the rites prescribed in the Veda, and by rigorouslypra ctising austerities, (men) gain that state (even) in this (world). 76-77. Let him quit this dwelling, composed of the "five elements, where the bones are the beams, which is held together by tendons (instead of cords), where the flesh and the blood are the mortar, which is thatched with the skin, which is foul-smelling, filled with urine and ordure, infested by old age and sorrow, the seat of disease, harassed by pain, gloomy with passion, and perishable.
