3.34

bhogās tuṅgataraṅga-bhaṅga-taralāḥ prāṇāḥ kṣaṇa-dhvaṃsinaḥ
stokāny eva dināni yauvana-sukhaṃ sphūrtiḥ priyāsu sthitā |
tat-saṃsāram asāram eva nikhilaṃ buddhvā budhā bodhakā
lokānugraha-peśalena manasā yatnaḥ samādhīyatām ||

Sensual pleasures are unsteady like the breaking of high waves; life ends in a moment; / the joy of youth lasts but a few days, its radiance abiding in beloved women. / Knowing this whole cycle of worldly existence to be entirely without substance, wise teachers, / with minds inclined toward compassion for the world, apply your effort!
