Sanskrit Original
मृत्युकाले हि भूतानां सद्यो जायति वेपथुः॥ जातिजन्मजरादुःखैर्नित्यं संसारसागरे। जन्तवः परिवर्तन्ते मरणादुद्विजन्ति च॥ गर्भवासेषु पच्यन्ते क्षाराम्लकटुकै रसैः। मूत्रस्वेदपुरीषाणां परुषैर्भृशदारुणैः॥ जाताश्चाप्यवशास्तत्र च्छिद्यमानाः पुनः पुनः। पाच्यमानाश्च दृश्यन्ते विवशा मांसगृद्धिनः॥ कुम्भीयाके च पच्यन्ते तां तां योनिमुपागताः।
