संसृष्टलिङ्गत् संसर्गनिचयात्सर्वलक्षणाः / रक्तोल्बणा गुदे कीलाः पीताकृतिसमन्विताः
saṃsṛṣṭaliṅgat saṃsarganicayātsarvalakṣaṇāḥ / raktolbaṇā gude kīlāḥ pītākṛtisamanvitāḥ
Dari campuran tanda-tanda tubuh dan timbunan pergaulan yang tercemar, muncullah segala gejala: pada dubur tampak benjolan seperti paku, sangat merah darah, disertai rupa kekuningan.

This verse treats accumulated corrupt association (saṃsarganicaya) as a direct cause for manifest suffering, teaching that karma is strengthened by repeated exposure and participation in harmful conduct.
It presents physical signs as outward expressions of inner moral causes—mixed marks and accumulated wrong contacts producing specific painful growths—illustrating the Garuda Purana’s link between conduct and embodied consequence.
Avoid repeated harmful habits and environments, cultivate purity in conduct and company, and treat ethical discipline as preventative spiritual hygiene that reduces future suffering.
