பந்தல் பிரிந்து அது பண்டு ஆரம் கட்டற்ற
ஒன்பது வாசலும் ஒக்க அடைத்தன
துன்புறு காலம் துரிசுவர மேன்மேல்
அன்புடை யார்கள் அழுதகன் றார்களே. 152.
Literal Translation
1 Spreading-creeper-expanse (having) separated,
that (body is an) ancient ornament. Binding-(having)ceased,
2 nine gates equal-as-to-abide closed (themselves).
3 (At the) sorrow-to-adjoin time, sorrow-arriving one-after-the-other,
4 Love-having-ones having wept, departed.
Lucid Translation
1) That physical body is an ancient ornament for (the subtle body of)
the spreading-creeper-expanse which has separated from the physical body.
2) The 9 gates of the physical body abide as being equal to closed holes
(with no vital energies moving in or out of them)
3) a) At the 'sorrow-adjoining' time *,
b) with sorrow** arriving one after the other,
those having love for the dead one, wept and departed.
Lucid Explanations
* due to the outbursts of cries by the relatives
** the stream of bewailing relatives (bottling up sorrow inside them) arriving one after the other,
to console those bereaved by the dead one
