162*162:

When overspread by extreme vice --
like a sal tree by a vine --
you do to yourself
what an enemy would wish.

 



162: DhpA completes the image of the poem by saying that one's vice bring about one's own downfall, just as a maluva creeper ultimately brings about the downfall of the tree it overspreads. See note 42.
