6. "It is a pity, brother. Evidently thou art very much fatigued; a long way thou hast borne the burden (and for a long time); thou art not very stout, or well-built in limb; overtaken by old age thou art, friend; thou doest not, but only these thy (colleagues) (stumble)." Though very much mocked at in this ironical manner, still, with his mind not given to substance, qualities, and actions, having overcome Avidya in his final vesture of body, which is not real, but a form; not imbued with the false notion due to misapprehension as 'I' and 'mine', and almost become Brahman, he quietly (continued to) bear the palanquin as before.

S. Subba Rau 1928, The Srimad Bhagavatam
