Verse 3.70.15

कलाकलनधर्मिण्या वासनामात्रसारया ।
क्षीणदीपांशुसूचीवत्तीक्ष्णयानुपलभ्यया ॥ १५ ॥

kalākalanadharmiṇyā vāsanāmātrasārayā |
kṣīṇadīpāṃśusūcīvattīkṣṇayānupalabhyayā || 15 ||

The little that remained of her person, was as thin as the last hope of man (which sustains his life). It was as the pencil of the extinguished flame of a lamp; that has its heat without the light.
