1.111.11

niḥ śaṅkaṃ kiṃ manuṣyāḥ kuruta parahitaṃ yuktamagre hitaṃ yanmodadhvaṃ kāminībhirmadanaśarahatā mandamandātidṛṣṭyā /
mā pāpaṃ saṃkurudhvaṃ dvijahariparamāḥ saṃbhajadhvaṃ sadaiva āyurniḥ śeṣameti skhalati jalaghaṭībhūtamṛtyucchalena //

Why [hesitate] fearlessly, O humans? Do good to others, which is fitting and beneficial hereafter; / or rejoice with women, struck by Love’s arrows with gentle, sidelong glances; / do not commit sin; devoted to the twice-born and Hari, worship [Him] constantly; / life reaches its end, slipping away under the guise of death shaped like a water-clock.
