यत्प्राणानैषणे कोऽत्र चिन्मात्रोऽभ्यसते हि कः ।
तस्मादाद्यन्तमध्येषु ये वयं पुरुषोत्तम ॥ ५९ ॥

yatprāṇānaiṣaṇe ko'tra cinmātro'bhyasate hi kaḥ |
tasmādādyantamadhyeṣu ye vayaṃ puruṣottama || 59 ||

Say what man is there, who neglects his life and livelihood, and remains only, in his intellect? (No one can make his intellectual culture without having his life and living). And as there are three stages of human life, namely, its beginning or boyhood, its middle or youth, and its end or old age, and we being situated in the midst of it, must do the duties appertaining to this state, before we proceed to the last stage of our being.
