स्वयं नृत्यसि किं प्रीतो विपत्तौ विकलेन्द्रियः ।
क्षणं निश्चलमासीनः पश्य संसारनाटकम् ॥ ५५ ॥

svayaṃ nṛtyasi kiṃ prīto vipattau vikalendriyaḥ |
kṣaṇaṃ niścalamāsīnaḥ paśya saṃsāranāṭakam || 55 ||

Why do you dance and make yourself merry in your amusement, when you are in danger of losing by degrees the powers of your body and limbs; sit but silently for a while, and see the drama of the course of this world.
