जीवितं च जने जीर्णं नैवोत्तीर्णो भवार्णवः ।
दिनानुदिनमुच्छूना भोगाशा भयदायिनी ॥ १२ ॥

jīvitaṃ ca jane jīrṇaṃ naivottīrṇo bhavārṇavaḥ |
dinānudinamucchūnā bhogāśā bhayadāyinī || 12 ||

Our lives are wasted in our attachment to family and dependants, and never employed to lead our souls across the ocean of the world; the desire of earthly enjoyments are decaying day by day, and a dreadful eternity awaits before us.
