अहं यावदियं तावत्कुटिकास्त्विति कल्पने ।
क्षीणे कुटीक्षये जाते स सिद्धः पतितः क्षणात् ॥ १८ ॥

ahaṃ yāvadiyaṃ tāvatkuṭikāstviti kalpane |
kṣīṇe kuṭīkṣaye jāte sa siddhaḥ patitaḥ kṣaṇāt || 18 ||

So when [we] wish for stability of our dwelling, with the continuance of our lives; we see on a sudden the termination of both, as it happened to the falling Siddha.
