Then, surrounded by their circle of well-wishers, those lion-like men spent the night in sorrow, grieving.

गतिं खर इवाश्वस्य तार्क्ष्यस्येव पतत्ऺित्रणः ।
अनुगन्तुं न शक्तिर्मे गतिं तव महीपते ॥ २.१०५.६ ॥
As an ass cannot follow the pace of a horse, nor any other bird the flight of Garuḍa, so, O lord of the earth, I have no power to follow your course.

सुजीवं नित्यशस्तस्य यः परैरुपजीव्यते ।
राम तेन तु दुर्जीवं यः परानुपजीवति ॥ २.१०५.७ ॥
Easy is the life of him on whom others depend, Rāma; hard is the life of him who depends on others.

स तां नानुभवेत्प्रीतिं यस्य हेतोः प्ररोपितः ॥ २.१०५.९ ॥

एवं नरस्य जातस्य नान्यत्र मरणाद्भयम् ॥ २.१०५.१७ ॥

अत्येति रजनी या तु सा न प्रतिनिवर्त्तते ।
यात्येव यमुना पूर्णा समुद्रमुदकाकुलम् ॥ २.१०५.१९ ॥
The night that passes away does not return; just as the Yamunā, full of water, flows on toward the ocean.

आयूंषि क्षपयन्त्याशु ग्रीष्मे जलमिवांशवः ॥ २.१०५.२० ॥
Here the days and nights of all living beings pass away; as the sun's rays swiftly dry up water in summer, so they quickly wear down life.

आत्मानमनुशोच त्वं किमन्यमनुशोचसि ।
आयुस्ते हीयते यस्य स्थितस्य च गतस्य च ॥ २.१०५.२१ ॥

जरया पुरुषो जीर्णः किं हि कृत्वा प्रभावयेत् ॥ २.१०५.२३ ॥
Wrinkles have come upon the limbs, and the hairs of the head have turned white; a man worn out by old age—what could he do to prevent it?

आत्मनो नावबुध्यन्ते मनुष्या जीवितक्षयम् ॥ २.१०५.२४ ॥
People rejoice when the sun rises, and they rejoice when the sun sets; yet human beings do not perceive the decay of their own lives.
2.105.25
हृष्यन्त्यृतुमखं दृष्ट्वा नवं नवमिहागतम् ।
ऋतूनां परिवर्त्तेन प्राणिनां प्राणसंक्षयः ॥ २.१०५.२५ ॥
Seeing the seasonal sacrifice come anew, people rejoice; yet by the turning of the seasons the life of living beings wastes away.
2.105.26
यथा काष्ठं च काष्ठं च समेयातां महार्णवे ।
समेत्य च व्यपेयातां कालमासाद्य कञ्चन ॥ २.१०५.२६ ॥
As two pieces of wood meet in the great ocean, and having met, after some time, drift apart again.
2.105.27
एवं भार्याश्च पुत्राश्च ज्ञातयश्च घनानि च ।
समेत्य व्यवधावन्ति ध्रुवो ह्येषां विनाभवः ॥ २.१०५.२७ ॥
So too wives, sons, kinsmen and wealth come together and then scatter apart; for them, separation is certain.

नात्र कश्चिद्यथाभावं प्राणी समभिवर्त्तते ।
तेन तस्मिन्न सामर्थ्यं प्रेतस्यास्त्यनुशोचतः ॥ २.१०५.२८ ॥
Here no living being can turn aside from what is destined; therefore one who grieves for the dead has no power to bring him back.
2.105.29
यथा हि सार्थं गच्छन्तं ब्रूयात् कश्चित् पथि स्थितः ।
अहमप्यागमिष्यामि पृष्ठतो भवतामिति ॥ २.१०५.२९ ॥
As one standing on the road might say to a caravan passing by, 'I too shall follow behind you.'

एवं पूर्वैर्गतो मार्गः पितृपैतामहो ध्रुवः ।
तमापन्नः कथं शोचेद्यस्ऺय नास्ति व्यतिक्रमः ॥ २.१०५.३० ॥
Thus is the path walked by ancestors and grandfathers a certain one; why should one who has come upon it grieve, since there is no escape from it?
2.105.31
वयसः पतमानस्य स्रोतसो वा ऽनिवर्तिनः ।
आत्मा सुखे नियोक्तव्यः सुखभाजः प्रजाः स्मृताः ॥ २.१०५.३१ ॥
As life falls away like a stream that does not turn back, the mind should be set upon happiness; the people are remembered as sharers in happiness.
