Description

Verse 155
Those who in youth have not led the holy life, or have failed to acquire wealth, languish like old cranes in the pond without fish.

Verse 156
Those who in youth have not lead the holy life, or have failed to acquire wealth, lie sighing over the past, like worn out arrows (shot from) a bow.
