Smokeless eleven Raga fires are difficult to extinguish.
Nibbana which is not a far journey is difficult to reach.

Pregnant man is difficult to give birth.
Also, people die with six difficulties. They will:
Die pennyless however they are rich.
Die without strength however they are as strong as elephant.
Starve and die however they can eat a lot.
Die dumb however they are a good speaker.
Die ugly however they are as pretty as a celestial being.
Be hated and die however they have many loved ones.
စာကိုးပ႑ဝ၊ ဦး (စတုဘုမၼိကငွက္တြင္းဆရာေတာ္)။ ေနလွ်င္ ၆ခ်က္၊ ေသလွ်င္ ၆ခ်က္။
