एवं प्राग्भुक्तदेहानामनन्ता जनबन्धुता ।
आः कैः किं गृह्यते ताभ्यः किं वा संत्यज्यतेऽनघ ॥ ४ ॥

evaṃ prāgbhuktadehānāmanantā janabandhutā |
āḥ kaiḥ kiṃ gṛhyate tābhyaḥ kiṃ vā saṃtyajyate'nagha || 4 ||

Thus is the end of the great boast of men, of having large trains and numberless friends in their embodied states of lifetime, of which alas! they carry nothing with them to their afterlife, nor leave anything behind, which they can properly call as theirs.
