O egotism, you are the root of birth and death and the cycle of reincarnation; you are the very soul of sin.

You forsake friends, and hold tight to enemies. You spread out countless illusions of Maya.

You cause the living beings to come and go until they are exhausted. You lead them to experience pain and pleasure.

You lead them to wander lost in the terrible wilderness of doubt; you lead them to contract the most horrible, incurable diseases.
