RGVV Commentary on Verse I.65

Other English translations

Obermiller (1931) [8]
The 3 fires,—those of death, illness, and decrepitude,
Are known to have a resemblance with 3 (other) fires,—
That (which arises) at the end of the world, the fire of hell,
And the ordinary fire, respectively.
Takasaki (1966) [9]
The three fires, the fire at the end of the world,
The fire of hell and the ordinary fire,
These are to be known respectively as the analogy
For three fires, that of death, of sickness and old age.
Fuchs (2000) [10]
The three fires of death, sickness, and aging
are to be understood in their given sequence
as resembling the fire at the end of time,
the fire of hell, and an ordinary fire.
