TRANSLATION

King Purarijana then began to think of his daughters, sons, grandsons,
daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, servants and other associates as well as his
house, his household paraphernalia and his little accumulation of wealth.

PURPORT

It is not infrequent for a person overly attached to the material body to
request a physician to prolong his life at least for some time. If the so-called
scientific physician is able to prolong one’s life for a few minutes through
the use of oxygen or other medicines, he thinks that he is very successful
in his attempts, although ultimately the patient will die. This is called the
struggle for existence. At the time of death both patient and physician still
think of prolonging life, although all the constituents of the body are
practically dead and gone.
