दिनैः कतिपयैरेव स्फुरिता धरणीतले ।
वराकास्तेन ते नष्टा मशकाः कुहरेष्विव ॥ १०७ ॥

dinaiḥ katipayaireva sphuritā dharaṇītale |
varākāstena te naṣṭā maśakāḥ kuhareṣviva || 107 ||

In vain did our forefathers flourish for a few days on the surface of this earth; only to be swept away like the fluttering flies and gnats, by a gust of wind into the ditch.
