v1.c24.9

He who has heard of the races of the Sun and Moon, of Ikshvāku, Jahnu, Māndhātṛi, Sagara, and Raghu, who have all perished; of Yayāti, Nahusha, and their posterity, who are no more; of kings of great might, resistless valour, and unbounded wealth, who have been overcome by still more powerful Time, and are now only a tale: he will learn wisdom, and forbear to call either children, or wife, or house, or lands, or wealth, his own. (*Vishṇu Pur.*, trans. Wilson, IV, p. 240.)
