गतिषु सन्त्रस्तमानसो शृणोहि ।
मम तात मे येन न अस्ति रति ।
जराव्याधि रिपुर् मरणं तृतीयं ।
अभिमर्दति तेन मे नास्ति रतिः ॥ ३३ ॥

gatiṣu santrastamānaso śṛṇohi |
mama tāta me yena na asti rati |
jarāvyādhi ripur maraṇaṃ tṛtīyaṃ |
abhimardati tena me nāsti ratiḥ || 33 ||

With a mind awed by the spheres of existence listen, father, while I tell you why I find no pleasure. Old age and disease, and the enemy death as the third, oppress me; that is why I find no pleasure. (33)
