लोकेर्भत्सरिभिर्गुणा वनभुवो व्यालैनृर्षा दुर्जनै- |
32. Birth is preyed upon (lit. attacked) by death ; brilliant youth by old age; contentment by greed ; happiness of self-control by the wiles of gay women ; virtues by the jealousy of men ; forest tracts by beasts of prey ; kings by the wicked (in counsel) ; and powers even are vitiated by their evanescence ; what on earth is not seized upon by something else ?

आधिव्याधिशतैर्जनस्य विविधैरारोग्यमुन्मूल्यते । |
33. Health of men is destroyed (lit. rooted out) by hundreds of varied ailments of body and mind ; wherever there is Lakshmi (the goddess of prosperity), there perils find an open access ; death sure annexes to itself, rendering impotent very soon. whatever is born again and again. Then what is created as stable by the absolute Creator ?
