Part 4 - How beings are tormented in successive births within the six realms of beings
These samsaric beings whirl about with each other and suffer:
For gods, asuras, and Hell beings, and the hungry ghosts,
For humans and animals, all beings of the six realms,
Like the chain of buckets on a water wheel,

Like the circle made by whirling a fire-brand,
These in their possession of of reciprocal causation
Become the whirling of the wheel that is samsara.
