44. "*kusumānyapi gātrasaṃgamāt prabhavantyāyurapohituṃ yadi* ।
*na bhaviṣyati hanta sādhanaṃ kimivānyattrahariṣyato vidheḥ* ॥
"When even flowers, on account of contact
With human body, can take away life,
Alas ‘ What is then there, that cannot become
A deadly weapon in the hand of Fate, when it is eager to strike".
