पातोत्पातदशाजीर्णं कालबालककन्दुकम् ।
अद्यापि न जहातीन्दुर्जलमामलिनं वपुः ॥ ३७ ॥

pātotpātadaśājīrṇaṃ kālabālakakandukam |
adyāpi na jahātīndurjalamāmalinaṃ vapuḥ || 37 ||

Men are tossed as the play balls of boys, by the hands of fate and death; and are worn out like these toys, by their incessant rise and fall and rolling upon the ground;yet these worrying wanderings, do not abate the force of their habitual motion, as the repeated waste and wane of the ever changing moon, makes no change in the blackish spot marked upon her disk.
