बलादरतिरायाता वैरस्यमिव पादपम् ।
तदिह स्याच्छुभाकारं स्थिरं किमतिशोभनम् ॥ ९ ॥

balādaratirāyātā vairasyamiva pādapam |
tadiha syācchubhākāraṃ sthiraṃ kimatiśobhanam || 9 ||

The taste of youthful pleasure, is soon succeeded by a distaste to it in old age; just as the vernal freshness of plants, gives room to the dryness of autumn; where then is that permanent pleasure and lasting good in this world; which never grows stale, and is ever sweet and lovely.
