बहुजनमुपसेव्योपार्जितं द्रव्यजातं, चितमतिविशालं मन्दिरं सुन्दरं वा । मृतिपथमवतीर्णे वेदनानष्टभाने, क्षणमपि नहि किश्चित्वत्पथं चानुगच्छेत् ॥३०॥
Meaning :- Accepting slavery and subjugation and at the cost of life, much wealth is obtained by me, large palatial mansions have been got created. Oh! man ! will all these things serve you at the eleventh hour ? Will they come with you ? Not at all. Wealth, riches, and buildings will neither help you nor come with you when you will be marching to death, your final goal, having lost consciousness by the agonizing tortures at the time of death. You will have to go single and without a company while journeying on your way to death. (30)
