क्व धनानि महीपानां ब्रह्मणः क्व जगन्ति वा ।
प्राक्तनानि प्रयातानि केयं विश्वस्तता मम ॥ २२ ॥

kva dhanāni mahīpānāṃ brahmaṇaḥ kva jaganti vā |
prāktanāni prayātāni keyaṃ viśvastatā mama || 22 ||

Where are the riches of the monarchs of the earth, and where the former creations of Brahma. The past have given way to the present, and these are to be followed by future ones; hence there is no reliance in anything.
