Translation

As by smoke fire is covered and mirror by dust,
As embryo is covered by womb, so by that is this covered.

As smoke obscures fire, and dust, a mirror, as the womb envelops an embryo, so they [lust and anger] obscure This.

Translation

Kaama, the passionate desire for all sensual and material pleasures, becomes anger if it is unfulfilled. As the fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror by dust, and as an embryo by the amnion, similarly the Self-knowledge gets obscured by Kaama.

Translation

As fire is covered by smoke, as a mirror is covered by dust, or as the embryo is covered by the womb, similarly, the living entity is covered by different degrees of this lust.
