1300 Srimad-Bhagavatam [Canto 3, Ch. 30
TRANSLATION
While carried by the constables of Yamaraja, he is overwhelmed and
trembles in their hands. While passing on the road he is bitten by dogs, and
he can remember the sinful activities of his life. He is thus terribly dis-
tressed.
PURPORT
It appears from this verse that while passing from this planet to the
planet of Yamaraja, the culprit arrested by Yamaraja’s constables meets
many dogs, who bark and bite just to remind him of his criminal activities
of sense gratification. It is said in Bhagavad-gita that one becomes almost
blind and is bereft of all sense when he is infuriated by the desire for sense
gratification. He forgets everything. Kamais tais tair hrta-jianah. One is
bereft of all intelligence when he is too attracted by sense gratification, and
he forgets that he has to suffer the consequences also. Here the chance for
recounting his activities of sense gratification is given by the dogs engaged
by Yamaraja. While we live in the gross body, such activities of sense
gratification are encouraged even by modern government regulations. In
every state all over the world, such activities are encouraged by the govern-
ment in the form of birth control. Women are supplied pills, and they are
allowed to go to a clinical laboratory to get assistance for abortion. This
is going on as a result of sense gratification. Actually sex life is meant for
begetting a good child, but because people have no control over the
senses and there is no institution to train them to control the senses, the
poor fellows fall victim to the criminal offenses of sense gratification, and
they are punished after death as described in these pages of Srimad-
Bhagavatam.
