Why are you stupefied? You are without any intelligence. You are yourself an object of grief, why do you grieve (for others)? A few days hence others will grieve for you, and in their turn they will be grieved for by others still.
किं नु मुह्यसि मूढस्त्वं शोच्यः किमनुशोचसि। यदा त्वामपि शोचन्तः शोच्या यास्यन्ति तां गतिम्।।१०
