First, the baby loves mother's milk second, he learns of his mother and father third, his brothers, sisters and aunts fourth, the love of play awakens. Fifth, he runs after food and drink sixth, in his sexual desire, he does not respect social customs. Seventh, he gathers wealth and dwells in his house eighth, he becomes angry, and his body is consumed. Ninth, he turns grey, and his breathing becomes labored tenth, he is cremated, and turns to ashes. His companions send him off, crying out and lamenting. The swan of the soul takes flight, and asks which way to go.
