धरासाररणच्छैलाः प्रज्वलज्ज्वलनोज्ज्वलाः ।
ककुभो न विशीर्यन्ते तनुं त्यजसि किं मुधा ॥ ३१ ॥

dharāsāraraṇacchailāḥ prajvalajjvalanojjvalāḥ |
kakubho na viśīryante tanuṃ tyajasi kiṃ mudhā || 31 ||

The skies do not pour out their showers of rain-water on earth, so as to overflood the mountain tops, nor do they burst out in fire and burn them down to ashes; why then do you waste away your body in vain?
