3.9

nivṛttā bhogecchā puruṣa-bahu-māno 'pi galitaḥ
samānāḥ svar-yātāḥ sapadi suhṛdo jīvita-samāḥ |
śanair yaṣṭy utthānaṃ ghana-timira-ruddhe ca nayane
aho mūḍhaḥ kāyas tad api maraṇāpāya-cakitaḥ ||

Desire for sensual pleasures has ceased; the high regard of men has slipped away;
equals and friends, dear as life itself, have suddenly gone to heaven;
one rises slowly with a cane, and both eyes are blocked by thick darkness:
alas! Yet this foolish body trembles in terror of death's approach!
