जनस्य जायाजनरञ्जनेन जवाज्जरान्तं जरयन्ति चेतः ॥ १७ ॥

imānyamūnīhi vibhāvitāni kāryāṇyaparyantamanoramāṇi |
janasya jāyājanarañjanena javājjarāntaṃ jarayanti cetaḥ || 17 ||

That such and such desirable acts are to be done, are the constant thoughts of men, who desire to please their sons and wives, until they are worn out with age and become crazy in their minds.
