Verse 4

नलिनी दलगत जलमति तरलं
तद्वज्जीवित मतिशय चपलम् ।
विद्धि व्याध्यभिमान ग्रस्तं
लोकं शोकहतं च समस्तम् ॥ ४ ॥

 

naliniidalagata jalamatitaralam
tadvajjiivitamatishayachapalam

viddhi vyaadhyabhimaanagrastam
lokam shokahatam cha samastam

 

Uncertain is the life of man as rain drops on a lotus leaf. Know that the whole world remains a prey to disease, ego and grief.
