"'So what is all this lamentation, bewailing, complaint ( paridevanā ) for these?' i.e., 'What is this wailing, lamenting, bewailing ( vilāpa ) based in sorrow for the appearance and disappearance of the bodies?' The meaning is that it is not appropriate for an awakened person to grieve for the loss of objects seen in a dream."
