ये रम्या ये शुभारम्भाः सुमेरुगुरवोऽपि ये ।
कालेन विनिगीर्णास्ते गरुडेनेव पन्नगाः ॥ ८ ॥

ye ramyā ye śubhārambhāḥ sumeruguravo'pi ye |
kālena vinigīrṇāste garuḍeneva pannagāḥ || 8 ||

All that was fair and good, and as great as the mount of Meru, have gone down in the womb of eternity, as the snakes are gorged by the greedy Garuda.
