Translation
Honor has faded away. Riches have perished. Beggars move away unsatisfied. Relatives have dwindled. Servants have left. Youth has slowly vanished. Only this choice suits the men of good wisdom, that they make residence in some bower made of creepers, in a cave of Himalayas which is filled with stones purified by the waters of Jahnu’s daughter (Ganges). ॥ 78 ॥
