जीवौघकोशकाराढ्यो व्योमोर्ध्वतलकालिमा ।
नभोनिवाससिद्धौघमशकाहितघुंघुमः ॥ ३३ ॥

nabhonivāsasiddhaughamaśakāhitaghuṃghumaḥ || 33 ||

All animal beings are as worms confined in the cocoons (prison houses) of their own making. The azure skies above and below are as the soot of this house, beset by bodies of Siddhas (or departed spirits), resembling groups of gnats buzzing in the air.
