The meaning is鈥斺�榳hat has been earned for some purpose to be fulfilled in the next world, becomes lost (nullified) for him鈥�.
Or, the compound may be expounded as a 叠补丑耻惫谤墨丑颈鈥斺�榯hat whose purpose or use pertains to the next world鈥�. This explanation would be justified by the sense and also by its usefulness.鈥�(95)
