3.50

A child for a moment, for a moment a youth relishing desire, / for a moment destitute of wealth, and for a moment abundant in splendor, / with limbs worn out by old age, his body adorned with wrinkles like an actor, / man enters the curtain of the city of Yama at the end of the cycle of worldly existence.
