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,
Limitless sufferings follow each other in a train.

The Precious Garland says:

Its three paths have no beginning, and have no end or middle.
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.
