बालो भूतमयेनेव संकेतेनाहमाकुलः ॥ १८ ॥

ka ime me mahābhogāḥ ka ime mama bāndhavāḥ |
bālo bhūtamayeneva saṃketenāhamākulaḥ || 18 ||

Of what avail are these large possessions and numerous relations to me, when my soul is desponding in despair, like children under the fear of ghosts and evil spirits.
