3.42

yatrānekaḥ kvacid api gṛhe tatra tiṣṭhaty athaiko
yatrāpy ekas tad anu bahavas tatra naiko 'pi cānte |
itthaṃ nayau rajani-divasau lolayan dvāv ivākṣau
kālaḥ kalyo bhuvana-phalake kraḍati prāṇi-śāraiḥ ||

Where there were many in a certain house, there only one now remains; / and where there was one, later there are many, and at the end not even one. / Tossing night and day in this manner like two dice, / skilled Time plays on the board of the world with living beings as his pieces.
