3. He thinks that his wealth [3] will make him live forever.
[3] This verse has two meanings, and both are correct. One is that he is so engrossed in accumulating wealth as if he will never die, and that his wealth will become a means to save him from the jaws of death through treatment and so on. The second meaning is that he is under the delusion that his wealth and riches will always remain with him. Whereas wealth is a fleeting shadow and a transient thing.
