[1532] In the world of men (manussaloka), O lady of lovely form,
the life and the beauty of mortals waste away;
for that very reason your wealth too diminishes:
today you have grown older than before.
While I look upon you thus, O glorious princess,
your beauty, alas, is fading with the passing of the days and nights.
While you are still of this very age, O princess of great wisdom,
you should live the holy life (brahmacariya) — you shall be yet more beautiful.
