Continual process of birth and death (Explained by Lord Kapila):
(Continued...)
Thus he remains at home just like a pet dog and eats whatever is so negligently given to him. Afflicted with many illnesses, he eats only very small morsels of food, and he becomes an invalid, who cannot work any more.
In that diseased condition, one's eyes bulge due to the pressure of air from within, and his glands become congested with mucus. He has difficulty breathing, and upon exhaling and inhaling he produces sounds like "ghura-ghura," a rattling within his throat.
In this way, he comes under the clutches of death and lies down, surrounded by lamenting friends and relatives, and although he wants to speak with them, he no longer can because he is under the clutch of time.
Thus the man, who engaged with uncontrolled senses in maintaining a family, dies in great grief, seeing his relatives crying.
