स भिक्षुर्जीवटो भूत्वा जन्तुर्जरठवासनः ।
तेषु देहेषु बभ्राम रन्ध्रेष्विव पिपीलिका ॥ १३ ॥

sa bhikṣurjīvaṭo bhūtvā janturjaraṭhavāsanaḥ |
teṣu deheṣu babhrāma randhreṣviva pipīlikā || 13 ||

Thus the mendicant became the Brahman Jivata by his fallible and fickle desire, which laid him to wander from one body to another, as little ants enter into the holes of houses and things.
