श्रीवसिष्ठ उवाच ।
रम्ये धनेषु दारादौ शोकस्यावसरो हि कः ।
इन्द्रजालेक्षणाद्दृष्टे नष्टे का परिदेवना ॥ १ ॥

śrīvasiṣṭha uvāca |
ramye dhaneṣu dārādau śokasyāvasaro hi kaḥ |
indrajālekṣaṇāddṛṣṭe naṣṭe kā paridevanā || 1 ||

Vasishtha said:—No man knows sorrow as long as he is in possession of his pleasant home, family and wealth; but why should he be sorrowful upon their disappearance, knowing them as a short-lived enchantment and accompaniment.
