पुनर्दिनं पुना रात्रिः पुनः कार्यपरम्पराः ।
पुनःपुनरहं मन्ये प्राज्ञस्येयं विडम्बना ॥ ३४ ॥

punardinaṃ punā rātriḥ punaḥ kāryaparamparāḥ |
punaḥpunarahaṃ manye prājñasyeyaṃ viḍambanā || 34 ||

The revolving days and nights bring the same revolution of duties, and I ween this repetition of the same acts—kritasya karanam, is as ridiculous to the wise, as the mastication of his grinded meat—charbita charbana.
