Description of Adverse Fruitive Activities
1295
If a man leaves home and dies without his family's knowing, that is considered to be a glorious death. But an attached family man wants his family members to carry him in a great procession even after his death, and although he will not be able to see how the procession goes, still he desires that his body be taken gorgeously in procession. Thus he is happy without even knowing where he has to go when he leaves his body for the next life.

कासश्वासकृतायासः कण्ठे घुरघुरायते ॥१६॥

vāyunā—by air; utkramatā—bulging out; uttāraḥ—his eyes; kapha—with mucus; saṁruddha—congested; nāḍikaḥ—his wind pipe; kāsa—coughing; śvāsa—breathing; kṛta—done; āyāsaḥ—difficulty; kaṇṭhe—in the throat; ghura-ghurāyate—he produces a sound like “ghura-ghura.”
TRANSLATION
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 a sound like “ghura-ghura,” a rattling within the throat.
