तरङ्गे च निबद्धास्था ये हतास्ते कुबुद्धयः ॥ ३८ ॥

asminkṣaṇaparispande dehe visaraṇonmukhe |
taraṅge ca nibaddhāsthā ye hatāste kubuddhayaḥ || 38 ||

It is the ignorant only that trust in this temporary and fluctuating state of the body; which, like the billow, is hastening to subside, in its original liquid and quiet state.
