Forsooth, all creatures that are born show at first a union (of various ingredients and forces). Dissolution, however, overtakes them at the end. Like bubbles in water they come and go away. All things collected together are sure to be dissipated, and all things that rise must fall down. Union terininates in dissolution and life terininates in death.
संयोगा विप्रयोगान्ता जातानां प्राणिनां ध्रुवम्॥ बुबुदा इव तोयेषु भवन्ति न भवन्ति च। सर्वे क्षयान्ता निचयाः पतनान्ताः समुच्छ्रयाः॥ संयोगा विप्रयोगान्ता मरणान्तं हि जीवितम्।
