सर्वत्र दारुभिर्वृक्षा मांसैर्भूतानि भूर्मृदा ।
दुःखान्यनित्यता चेति कथमाश्वास्यते वद ॥ ५७ ॥

sarvatra dārubhirvṛkṣā māṃsairbhūtāni bhūrmṛdā |
duḥkhānyanityatā ceti kathamāśvāsyate vada || 57 ||

I saw the same woody trees, the same kind of earthly cities, and the same sort of fleshy animal bodies every where; I found them all frail and transitory, and full of pain and misery as never to be liked.
