To him (thus) causing destruction by means of many kinds of intruments. Think correctly, what is the reason of that man being besmeared with dost. Consider what reason there is for his being covered with dust, when he has been making such onslaughts by various weapons. It is the presence of oil which makes him coated with dust. Know, that this is certainly not caused by the (other) movements of his body, similarly, a wrong believer engaged in many kinds of activities, and having attachment etc, in his conscious attention, is smeared by the dust of Karmas.
