गृहीत्वा कृपणः कृष्णां रजनीं जीर्णमार्जनीम् ।
आलोककनकक्षोदानाहरत्यभितो गिरिम् ॥ ३५ ॥

gṛhītvā kṛpaṇaḥ kṛṣṇāṃ rajanīṃ jīrṇamārjanīm |
ālokakanakakṣodānāharatyabhito girim || 35 ||

As a covetous man, with worn out broom sticks in hand, sweeps over a mountain to gather the particles of gold strewn over it, so does time with his sweeping course of days and nights, collect in one mass of the dead all living beings in the world.
