Stanza 4

Hindi Text:




English Translation:
Ek Saans Mein Atth-Das Baar,
Janmau Maran Bharau Dukhbhaar;
Nikasi Bhoomi Jal Paawak Bhayau,
Pawan Pratyek Vanaspati Thayau.
Meaning:
In the state of the lowest form of life - the soul suffered immensely. In one breathing, he was born and reborn up to 18 times. The soul went through the cycle of birth and death 18 times. When the soul got the opportunity to come out of this, he was born into an earth body, water body, fire body, air body, and then as an individial plant body. All these migrations were in one sensed life.
Further Discussion:
The living beings that make up:
  • Earth are round in shape.
  • Fire are shaped like a vertical wire.
  • Water are spherical.
  • Aire are like a flag in the wind formnig the "S" shape.
