The remembrance of earthy enjoyments is the first cause of death to men; afterwards come desire (to have those enjoyments) and anger (at the failure to have enjoyments from or other). These (i.e. the remembrance of enjoyments, desire and anger) cause death to be met with by boys (men of little sense); but those that have successes in controlling their souls cross over death unharmed by means of their self-restraint.
अभिध्या वै प्रथमं हन्ति लोकान् कामक्रोधावनुगृह्याशु पश्चात्। एते बालान् मृत्यवे प्रापयन्ति धीरास्तु धैर्येण तरन्ति मृत्युम्॥
