भाराय पान्थदृष्ट्येव दृश्यन्ते दारबन्धवः ।
यथाशक्ति यथाकालमुपचर्यन्त एव च ॥ ४ ॥

bhārāya pānthadṛṣṭyeva dṛśyante dārabandhavaḥ |
yathāśakti yathākālamupacaryanta eva ca || 4 ||

Every one is seen to be worn out with toil and care, for the supportance of his family and friends throughout his life; and yet like a weary traveller labouring under his load, he is rarely found to cast off his burthen, as long he has strength to bear it.
