Is not a palace roof delightful for dwelling? Is not singing and the like pleasant to hear?
Or is not union with a beloved as dear as life itself a source of supreme delight?
Yet, seeing that everything is fleeting as the shadow of a lamp flame
flickering in the wind made by the flutter of a moth's wings, the virtuous have departed for the forest.
