Translation

Thereafter, when the King saw that his palanquin was still being shaken by the carriers, he became very angry and said: You rascal, what are you doing? Are you dead despite the life within your body? Do you not know that I am your master? You are disregarding me and are not carrying out my order. For this disobedience I shall now punish you just as Yamarāja, the superintendent of death, punishes sinful people. I shall give you proper treatment so that you will come to your senses and do the correct thing.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Thereafter, when the King saw that his palanquin was still being shaken by the carriers, he became very angry and said, “You fool, what are you doing? Are you dead despite the life within your body? You are disregarding me and are not carrying out my order. I have a remedy for your inattention, just as Yamarāja punishes the people in general, so that you will come to your senses.”
