________________ www देहे नास्ति च रोम ताहगपि यन्मूले न काचिद्रुजा, लब्ध्वा ते सहकारिकारणमनु प्रादुर्भवन्ति क्षणात् । आयुश्छिन्नघटाम्बुवत्प्रतिपलं संक्षीयते प्राणीनां, तेदेहे क्षणभङ्गुरेऽशुचिमये मोहस्य किं कारणम् ॥५ ।। Meaning :- In the whole human body there is not to be found a single hair at the root of which a disease does not exist. According to scriptures, one and a threefourth of a disease is there in a single hair. These diseases which are lying hidden come out all of a sudden when the attendent causes such as sexual enjoyments and the germs etc. are there. On the other hand, the span of life which is as transitory as the ripples of water in a pot of water having holes goes on shortening every moment like the water in a holed pot. Oh! good person! Why Dost thou maintain a fascination, then, for a body which is mortal and crooked in its nature and whose perishable as well as momentary nature are obvious because of the attack of the diseases and the everwaning span of life.
