भागवत - चलाः


रायः कलत्रं पशवः सुतादयो
    गृहा मही कुंजरकोशभूतयः ।
सर्वेऽर्थकामाः क्षणभंगुरायुषः
    कुर्वन्ति मर्त्यस्य कियत्प्रियं चलाः ॥


- भागवत



rAyaH kalatraM pashavaH sutAdayo
    gRuhA mahI kunjarakoshabhUtayaH ।
sarve artha kAmAH kShaNa bhangura AyuShaH
    kurvanti martyasya kiyat priyam chalAH ॥


- bhAgavata


How much can all the material pleasures like money, wife, animals, children, house, land, elephants, wealth and other such things that can be bought with money? Life itself is ephemeral, lasting for less than a second. What can these impermanent things do to make us happy?


- Bhagavata
