विपुलविभवसारं रम्यहारोपहार - मसकृदपि च दचा तोषिता ये सखायः । अतिपरिचयवन्तस्तेऽप्यदूरं वसन्तो भयदमरणकाले किं भवेयुः सहायाः ॥२९॥
Meaning :- Will those friends of yours, who have been repeatedly pleased by you by giving them plenty of wealth, valuable necklaces etc. and who have been connected with you for so long a time very intimately. help you undertaking your misery on their heads or accompany you on your journey to the next world even though they may be sitting very close to you on your sick-bed? They will not. The end of your life will bring the end also of their friendship with you. Believe without the least vestige of doubt that you are alone, companionless. (29)
