रामायण - अयोध्या - अनित्यता

यथा काष्ठं च काष्ठं च समेयातां महार्णवे
    समेत्य च व्यपेयातां कालमासाद्य कञ्चन ।
एवं भार्याश्च पुत्राश्च ज्ञातयश्च धनानि च
    समेत्य व्यवधावन्ति ध्रुवो ह्येषां विना भवः ॥

- रामायण, अयोध्या

- rAmAyaNa, ayodhyA

Just like how sticks floating in the sea come together for some time and later drift away, so is man's associations with his kin - wife, son, relatives and wealth. They may seem like it all came running together for you. But you can be certain that you will have to part with them.

- Ramayana, Ayodhya
