śvobhāvā martyasya yad antakaitat sarvendriyāṇāṃ jarayanti tejaḥ /
api sarvaṃ jīvitam alpam eva tavaiva vāhās tava nṛtyagīte //
[Naciketas :] 26. Ephemeral things ! That which is a mortal’s, O End-maker, Even the vigor (*tejas*) of all the powers, they wear away. Even a whole life is slight indeed. Thine be the vehicles (*vāha*) ! Thine be the dance and song !
