It was thus, O king, that Death was created by the Self-Create and it is in this way that she kills duly all living creatures when their time comes. the tears she had shed became diseases, which when their last hours come, snatch away all beings gifted with life.
एवं मृत्युर्देवसृष्टा प्रजानां प्राप्ते काले संहरन्ती यथावत्। तस्याश्चैव व्याधयस्तेऽश्रुपाताः प्राप्ते काले संहरन्तीह जन्तून्॥
