3.38
vyāghrīva tiṣṭhati jarā paritarjayantī
rogāś ca śatrava iva praharanti deham |
āyuḥ parisravanti bhinna-ghaṭā-divāmbho
lokas tathāpy ahitam ācaratīti citram ||
Old age stands threatening like a tigress; / diseases strike the body like enemies; / life drains away like water from a broken jar; / and yet people act against their own true interest—how strange!
