सर्वाङ्गकुड्यसंघातघनरोमयवाङ्कुरम् ।
संशून्यपेटविवरं नेष्टं देहगृहं मम ॥ २८ ॥

sarvāṅgakuḍyasaṃghātaghanaromayavāṅkuram |
saṃśūnyapeṭavivaraṃ neṣṭaṃ dehagṛhaṃ mama || 28 ||

This house of the body is walled about by all its members, and beset by hairs growing like ears of corn on it. It has an empty space of the belly within (which is never full), and which I do not like.
