English Translation
In course of its downwards descent under the influence of ignorance individual soul lives (within its cell formed by acts) like a silkworm living within its cell made of threads woven by itself. Like the freed silk-worm again that quits its cell, individual soul also abandons its house forined by its acts. The final result, is that its sorrows are then dissipated like a clump of carth falling violently upon a rocky mass.
