व्याघ्रीव तिष्ठति जरा परितर्जयन्ती
रोगाश्च शत्रव इव प्रहरन्ति देहम् ।
आयुः परिस्रवति भिन्नघटादिवाम्भो
लोकस्तथाप्यहितमाचरतीति चित्रम् ॥
वैराग्यशतकम् 38

vyāghrīva tiṣṭhati jarā paritarjayantī
rogāśca śatrava iva praharanti deham ।
āyuḥ parisravati bhinna-ghaṭād-ivāmbho
lokas-tathāpy-ahitam-ācaratīti citram ॥
Vairāgyaśatakam 38
