White hair, cheerlessness, relaxation of nerves, wrinkles, all the body, deformities, weakness, leanness, inability of work, these the consequences of decrepitude. Even friends and dependants forsake an old decrepit man.
सितश्मश्रुनिरानन्दो जरया शिथिलीकृतः। बलीसंगतगात्रस्तु दुर्दर्शो दुर्बलः कृशः॥ अशक्तः कार्यकरणे परिभूत: स यौवतैः। सहोपजीविभिश्चैव तां जरां नाभिकामये॥
