Meaning
Antar dahanti, they burn within. Another commentary lists what drives these fears: the urges of speech, mind, anger, tongue, belly and sex. The point is the place of the burning. What people suffer most is carried inside and goes on after the occasion has gone. And cirāya, for a long time, is a sober word: nothing here says that time will heal it.
