न तथा स्थिरता देहे चित्रपुंसो यथा किल ।
विनाशितो हि चित्रस्थो देहो नश्यति नान्यथा ॥ १५ ॥

na tathā sthiratā dehe citrapuṃso yathā kila |
vināśito hi citrastho deho naśyati nānyathā || 15 ||

You see a man in two ways, the one with his body and the other in his representation in a picture or statues, of these the former kind is more frail than the latter;because the embodied man is beset by troubles and diseases in his fading and mouldering, decaying and dying body, whereby the other is not.
