यथा नास्ति मलोपेते मुकुरे मुनिनायक ।
तथा नास्ति गतप्राणे विद्यमानेऽपि देहके ॥ १२ ॥

yathā nāsti malopete mukure munināyaka |
tathā nāsti gataprāṇe vidyamāne'pi dehake || 12 ||

As the soiled glass receives no reflection of outward things, so the lifeless body has no reflection of any thing, though it is preserved to our view.
