Wasting, darkness, fever, sin, and death are stated to be of the nature of Yama, / because they bring about death in men suffering through their own actions. / Thus its primary nature is stated; but its manifestation arose from attachment, / as previously indicated in the [section on] Diagnosis, and from the fierce wrath of Rudra.
