तव किल विलपन्ती तिष्ठति स्त्री गृहावे, प्रचलति विशिखान्तं स्नेहयुक्तापि माता । स्वजनसमुदयस्ते याति नूनं वनान्तं, तनुरपि दहनान्तं निःसहायस्ततस्त्वम् ॥२७॥
Meaning :- The wife for whom you are cherishing so much love will retire into a solitary corner of your house lamenting over your death when you will die. Your mother, too, who has unlimited affection for you, will return home having come out from the house for a short distance along with your bier. If at all your relatives will come along with your bier, they will at the most be coming as far as to have your bier reached the cementery and no further. Oh! what and why to talk of anything else ? This very body of yours with which you have the closest contact and with which you have been so intimately connected during your whole life-time, will not stand in any good stead at the final moment. That also will be burnt to ashes and will remain here. You will have to go alone and companionless having been disconnected finally from all things mundane. (27)
