क्रीडासक्ता हि बाल्ये तु कामासक्ताश्च यौवने |
चिन्तासक्ताश्च वार्धक्ये वृथा कुर्वन्ति जीवनम् ||
जरठा बहवो लोके कफसंरुद्धवक्षसः |
गृहपालाः श्वान इव द्वारे तिष्ठन्ति वञ्चिताः ||
कृपयैव हि कृष्णस्य नूनं देव शिखामणेः |
नराणां लोकयात्रायां विरक्तिरुपजायते ||
People while away their lifetime in play and sports in the childhood, in gratification of the senses in the youth and in uncontrollable worries during the old age. Many aged ones suffer from diseases like Asthma. Deserted by all they wait at the gates like dogs guarding the houses. Certainly, only due to the mercy of Shri Krishna, the Lord of the devas, people develop detachment towards worldly affairs.
