सीत्कारकारिणी पांसुपरुषा परिजर्जरम् ।
शरीरं शातयत्येषा वात्येव तरुपल्लवम् ॥ २० ॥

sītkārakāriṇī pāṃsuparuṣā parijarjaram |
śarīraṃ śātayatyeṣā vātyeva tarupallavam || 20 ||

As the chill blast of winter shakes a tree and covers its leaves with dust, so does old age seize the body with a tremor and fill all its limbs with the rust of diseases.
