Meaning
The sarga ends in a longer metre. The commentary: in that hill village the brahmin's houses and his property, land and the rest, are still there; his jīva is in the house-pavilion of that village; today is the eighth day since his death. The time-scale is the tale's great surprise: a whole lifetime as King Padma has passed within eight days of the brahmin's death.
