ākrāntaṃ maraṇena janma jarasā cātyujjvalaṃ yauvanaṃ
santoṣo dhana-lipsayā śama-mukhaṃ prauḍhāṅganā-vibhramaiḥ |
lokair matsaribhir guṇā vana-bhuvo vyālair nṛpā durjanair
asthairyeṇa vibhūtayo 'py apahatā grastaṃ na kiṃ kena vā ||
Birth is overtaken by death, and radiant youth by old age; / contentment by the desire for wealth; the peace of serenity by the seductive charms of mature women; / virtues by envious people; forest tracts by beasts of prey; kings by wicked persons; / and even fortunes are destroyed by instability. What, indeed, has not been devoured by something?
