8.22.9
kimātmanānena jahāti yo 'ntataḥ kiṃ rikthahāraiḥ svajanākhyadasyubhiḥ /
kiṃ jāyayā saṃsṛtihetubhūtayā martyasya gehaiḥ kimihāyuṣo vyayaḥ //
9. "What is the worth of this body which falls off at the end, or of the sons (children) and relations who are robbers that carry
away one's wealth? what is the value of a wife who is only the cause of Samsara (birth and death), or of houses to a mortal? There is but mere wasting of life-time here.
