यत्सङ्गात्स्याद्धोज्यमुपात्तं रमणीयं, दुर्गन्धाढ्यं द्राक् कृमिपूर्ण क्षणमात्रात् । मूल्यं वस्त्रं स्वच्छमपि स्यान्मलदुष्टं, सोऽयं देहः सुन्दर इत्थं कथयेत्कः ॥४७॥
Meaning :- Who can dare say that this body of ours is beautiful, the body by the contact of which the nice, fragrant and delicious food becomes testeless and odorous and gets putrefied in a moment and in addition to this the body which is breeding ground of diverse kinds of worms, ova, bacteria, and microbes; and the body by the association of which clean and cosily silken garments also get dirty ?
