Shatakatraya 3.8

3.8

The face is covered with wrinkles; the head is marked with grey hair;
the limbs grow slack; craving alone grows youthful!
When discernment blossoms and produces calm, thirst subsides;
yet in the heights of attachment, fully matured, it spreads all the more—
that thirst in which, abject with the torment of swallowing ruined fortunes,
even the lord of the gods becomes a vessel of craving.
