वयसि गते कः कामविकारः शुष्के नीरे कः कासारः । क्षीणे वित्ते कः परिवारः ज्ञाते तत्त्वे कः संसारः ॥१०॥
Study note
Word breakdown
- वयसि गते कः कामविकारः
- When youth has passed, what lustful disturbance?
- शुष्के नीरे कः कासारः ।
- In dried-up water, what lake?
- क्षीणे वित्ते कः परिवारः
- When wealth is gone, what family?
- ज्ञाते तत्त्वे कः संसारः ॥१०॥
- When truth is known, what world of becoming?
When supports vanish, the verse asks what remains once truth is known. Each worldly anchor dissolves in turn, leaving only the reality that survives every loss.
