One says, “I have a lot of gain and praise,

I am very popular with others.” If one holds such arrogance

One will be frightened after death.

Stracke 2016

The Entrance for the Children of the Conquerors

If one carries conceit such as,

This version differs from it's counterparts.

Many individuals will like me.” If I become conceited and cling to pride in this way,

Once I die, I will become terrified.
