The first four debts are incurred by a man while he is alive, while the public debt is incurred after death.
When a man dies, the wood used in his cremation is actually the last debt on him. Taking this loan, when a man reaches the new birth, he has to suffer many kinds of sufferings related to nature. If he does not get enough nutrition and protection from nature, he becomes a victim of serious diseases.
Even in the Garuda Purana which is recited after the death of a person, it has been clearly said that the person on whom the public debt remains, his death in the next birth also happens due to nature-borne diseases and natural calamities, vehicle accident. Such a person is killed by the bite of poisonous animals.
