2.28

rājas-tṛṣṇāmburāśer na hi jagati gataḥ kaścid evāvasānaṃ
ko vārtho 'rthaiḥ prabhūtaiḥ sva-vapuṣi galite yauvane sānurāge |
gacchāmaḥ sadma yāvad vikasita-nayanendīvarālokinīnāmākramyākramya
rūpaṃ jhaṭiti na jarayā lupyate preyasīnām ||

No one in this world has ever reached the end of the ocean of desire for kingly wealth; / what is the use of abundant riches when youth, accompanied by passion, has departed from one's own body? / Let us go home before the beauty of our beloveds, / who gaze with blossom-like blue-lotus eyes, is suddenly destroyed by the relentless assault of old age.
