3.65

cetaś cintaya mā ramāṃ sakṛd imām asthāyinīm āsthayā
bhūpāla-bhrukuṭī-kuṭī-viharaṇa-vyāpāra-paṇyāṅganām |
kanthā-kañcukinaḥ praviśya bhavana-dvārāṇi vārāṇasīrathyā-
paṅktiṣu pāṇi-pātra-patitāṃ bhikṣām apekṣāmahe ||

O mind, do not dwell even once with yearning on this transient fortune, / a courtesan whose trade is strolling in the cottage of a king's furrowed brow. / Clad in ragged cloaks, having entered house doorways, / let us await alms fallen into our hand-bowls in the street rows of Vārāṇasī.
