3.33

ādhi-vyādhi-śatair janasya vividhair ārogyam unmūlyate
lakṣmīr yatra patanti tatra vivṛta-dvārā iva vyāpadaḥ |
jātaṃ jātam avaśyam āśu vivaśaṃ mṛtyuḥ karoty ātmasāt
tat kiṃ tena niraṅkuśena vidhinā yan nirmitaṃ susthiram ||

A person's health is uprooted by hundreds of diverse physical and mental afflictions; / where Fortune falls, calamities enter as if through open doors. / Death inevitably and quickly claims whatever is born, leaving it helpless. / What, then, has been created firm and stable by that unchecked Creator?
