tair eva phalam etasya gṛhītaṃ puṇyakarmabhih,
virajya janmanaḥ svārthe yaiḥ śarīraṃ kadarthitam. || 6 ||

4. Tho one extend his life to cover a hundred autumns, he must
in any case meet death, even lying in his bed. So the men who
do not practise selfishness with their bodies, which are the chief
disgrace of the whole world, being so easily subject to destruction,
they are the light of the world. Moreover:
5. Ever and ever worn by disease, ever and ever the home of
sorrow, ever nigh unto death is this body-cage of mortals.
6. Truly, those men of righteous deeds who, setting at naught
their selfish advantage, have held the body valueless, are the
ones who have gathered the fruit of this life.”
