TRANSLATION

When dead, the bodies of all the rulers known as kings and
great leaders will be transformed into worms, stool or ashes. If one
enviously kills others for the protection of such a body, does he
actually know the true interest of life? Certainly he does not, for if
one is envious of other entities, he surely goes to hell.

PURPORT

The material body, even if possessed by a great king, is ultimately
transformed into stool, worms or ashes. When one is too attached to the
bodily conception of life, he is certainly not very intelligent.
