3.20

tuṅgaṃ veśma sutāḥ satām abhimatāḥ saṅkhyātigāḥ sampadaḥ
kalyāṇī dayitā vayaś ca navam ity ajñāna-mūḍho janaḥ |
matvā viśvam anaśvaraṃ niviśate saṃsāra-kārā-gṛhe
saṃdṛśya kṣaṇa-bhaṅguraṃ tad akhilaṃ dhanyas tu sannyasyati ||

A towering mansion, sons esteemed by the virtuous, vast wealth beyond measure, / an auspicious beloved, and fresh youth—so thinking, / people, blinded by ignorance, regard the world as imperishable and enter the prison-house of the cycle of worldly existence; / but the fortunate person, seeing all of it to be frail and fleeting, renounces.
