Verse 1.26.30

कालः संकाल्यते येन नियतिश्चापि नीयते ।
खमप्यालीयतेऽनन्तं कैवास्था मादृशे जने ॥ ३० ॥

kālaḥ saṃkālyate yena niyatiścāpi nīyate |
khamapyālīyate'nantaṃ kaivāsthā mādṛśe jane || 30 ||

What reliance can there be on men like us, when the duration of time comes to be counted, when Destiny is destined to her final destiny, and when all vacuity loses itself in infinity?
