यस्य श्लाघा देवसभायां विबुधाग्रे, भूयो भूयो गोत्रभिदातीव कृतासीत् । देहो ग्रस्त: सोऽपि चतुर्थस्य च सार्वभौमस्याहो षोडशरोग्या समकालम् ॥४८॥
Meaning :- The most handsome body also of the fourth Universal sovereign, named Sanatkumar, the beauty and grace of which were highly admired repeatedly by the lord of the first heaven in the assembly of gods and to see which the gods had come down on earth from the heavens, came to be destroyed being pervaded in an instant simultaneously by the germs of cough, asthma, leprosy, fistula and other similar foul diseases. When even the extremely handsome body of the sovereign monarch obtained on account of highly meritorious deed done in former lives took no time in being destroyed and undermined by the diseases, what time, calmly consider, shall be then taken by the ordinary body in going out of order and gear ?
