5. There is that body of mine, which was so fondly anointed with camphor, agallochum and sandal paste, by my wet-nurse before.

7. This is that body of mine, which was so fondly caressed by heavenly dames of yore, and which is now lying, to be bitten by creeping insects and worms, on the bare ground below.
8. This is that body of mine, which was wont of yore to ramble in the parterres of sandalwood; now lying a dried skeleton on the naked spot.
