He’s given up the household life, <j>but is far from perfect.“Hitvā gihittaṁ anavositatto, Living for his belly, lazy, <j>he uses his snout as a plow,Mukhanaṅgalī odariko kusīto; like a great hog stuffed with grain.Mahāvarāhova nivāpapuṭṭho, That dullard is reborn again and again.Punappunaṁ gabbhamupeti mando”ti.
