आकाशपादपलताकृतपाशकल्पं येषां फलं नहि विचारविदोऽपि विद्मः ॥ ४२ ॥

ākāśapādapalatākṛtapāśakalpaṃ yeṣāṃ phalaṃ nahi vicāravido'pi vidmaḥ || 42 ||

The term of human life in this world, is decreased in each generation in proportion to (the increase of their wicked acts). The desire of fruition is as vain as the expectation of reaping fruits from a creeper growing in the sky: yet I know not why men of reason would not understand this truth.
