vidyud-dyutis tv ritu-guno jala-madhya-rekha
bhutolmukah kapaöa-pantha-ratir yatha ca
ittham tathasya jagatas tu mukham mrisheti
duhkhavritam vishaya-ghurnam alata-cakram[1]

Like a fleeting lightning flash, a ripple on the water, the passing seasons, and the false, blurred line of a moving spark, the face, filled with sufferings, of the material world is temporary and untrue. The whirl of sense happiness is the seeming-stationary circle of a quickly-moving spark.
