वृक्षोर्व्यब्ध्यद्रिखचराः प्राणिनोन्तः स्फुरन्त्यलम् ।
मृतिजन्मोन्मुखाः कीटसुरासुरजलौकसः ॥ १७ ॥

vṛkṣorvyabdhyadrikhacarāḥ prāṇinontaḥ sphurantyalam |
mṛtijanmonmukhāḥ kīṭasurāsurajalaukasaḥ || 17 ||

All the living beings abounding in the earth and water, and those flying in the air, as well as such as live in the hills and on trees; together with the gods and giants, are alike doomed to death and regeneration, as the ephemeral insects, worms and flies.
