Commentary
Why is 辫耻迟谤墨测补迟颈 not connected with another word in the sentence expressive of a particular object?
[Read verse 70 above]
[Even though the word 辫耻迟谤墨测补迟颈 expresses the desire for a son, it is not connected in the sentence with a word standing for a particular son. ft is like the word 箩墨惫补迟颈 which is not connected in the sentence with a karma. It is usually explained as pr膩峁嚹乶 dh膩rayati but this is only an explanation. It has no parts like 诲丑腻谤颈 or 辫谤腻峁嘺. The whole word expresses the action of living.]
