Devanagari script
संयोगानां क्षयं दृष्टवा युगानां च विशेषत: । क्षयं च दृष्टवा शैलानां क्षयं च सरितां तथा,संयोगोंका, युगोंका, पर्वतोंका और सरिताओंका जो क्षय होता है, उसपर दृष्टि डाले। वर्णोका क्षय और क्षयका अन्त भी बारंबार देखे। जन्म, मृत्यु और जरावस्थाके दु:खोंपर दृष्टिपात करे
Translation
Having seen the dissolution of associations, and especially the decline of the ages (yugas); and having seen the wasting away of mountains and likewise the dwindling of rivers—one should set one’s gaze upon the perishing of all such things.
