3.78

māne mlāyini khaṇḍite ca vasuni vyarthe prayāte 'rthini
kṣīṇe bandhu-jane gate parijane naṣṭe śanair yauvane |
yuktaṃ kevalam etad eva sudhiyāṃ yaj jahnu-kanyā-payaḥpūtāgrāva-
girīndra-kandara-taṭī-kuñje nivāsaḥ kvacit ||

When honor has withered, wealth is ruined, suitors have departed empty-handed, / kinsmen have dwindled, servants have left, and youth has slowly vanished, / this alone is fitting for the wise: to dwell somewhere in an arbor / on the slopes of caves of a great mountain whose crags are purified by the waters of the daughter of Jahnu.
