Translation
The conditioned soul suffers many miserable bodily conditions, such as being affected by severe cold and strong winds. He also suffers due to the activities of other living beings and due to natural disturbances. When he is unable to counteract them and has to remain in a miserable condition, he naturally becomes very morose because he wants to enjoy material facilities.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Sometimes, being unable to cope with the unlimited suffering caused by body, mind and natural calamities, such as cold and wind, he becomes depressed because of unending desire for sense objects.
This verse explains the phrase “sometimes he is unable to counteract the cold, heat, wind and rain” mentioned in SB 5.13.11.
