यदा घर्घरकण्ठत्वं वैरूप्यं दृष्टिवर्णजम् ।
गच्छत्येषोऽविवेकात्मा तदा भवति दीनधीः ॥ ४० ॥

yadā ghargharakaṇṭhatvaṃ vairūpyaṃ dṛṣṭivarṇajam |
gacchatyeṣo'vivekātmā tadā bhavati dīnadhīḥ || 40 ||

At the moment when the last gurgling of the throat chokes the breath, the eye-sight is dimmed and the countenance fades away; then the rational soul also becomes hazy in its intellect.
