भोगों को नहीं भोगा हम ही भोगे गये, तप नहीं तपा गया हम ही तप्त हो गये, काल नहीं बीता हम ही बीत गये तृष्णा जीर्ण नहीं हुई हम ही जीर्ण हो गये।

We did not consume pleasures—we ourselves were consumed; austerity was not practised—we ourselves were scorched; time did not pass—we ourselves passed away; craving did not wear out—we ourselves wore out.
