As amongst earthen pots some break while still on the potter's wheel, some while partially shaped, some as soon as shaped, some after removal from the wheel, some while in course of being removed, some after removal, some while wet, some while dry, some while being burnt, some while being removed from the kiln, some after removal therefrom, and some while being used, so is the case with the bodics of embodied creatures.
यथा च मृन्मयं भाण्डं चक्रारूढं विपद्यते। किंचित् प्रक्रियमाणं वा कृतमात्रमथापि वा॥ छिन्नं वाप्यवरोप्यन्तमवतीर्णमथापि वा। आर्द्र वाप्यथवा शुष्कं पच्यमानमथापि वा॥ उत्तार्यमाणमापाकादुद्धृतं चापि भारत। अथवा परिभुज्यन्तमेवं देहाः शरीरिणाम्॥
