a3	[SKT] Shame be upon you, vulgar old age! [TB] Shame be upon you, vulgar old age!
a4	[TB] thus a face gratifying to the mind [SKT] is destroyed by you
b4	[TB] (stinking it will) without doubt (fall apart) [SKT] for life has death as its end [TB] (for life has) death (as its end)
b5	[TB] [this body] will lie on the earth [SKT] empty and without consciousness [TB] empty (and without consciousness)
b6	[SKT] with a stinking stream [streaming] steadily [from it] [TB] with a stinking stream [streaming] (steadily from it)
b7	[SKT] with this stinking body [TB] (with) this stinking (body)
