Sanskrit Text

असहायः पिता माता तथा भ्राता सुतो गुरुः ज्ञातिसंबन्धिवर्गश्च मित्रवर्गस्तथैव

English Translation

Is the father, or mother, or son, or preceptor, or kinsmen, or relatives, or those called friends, that may be said to truly form the friend of a mortal creature? One goes to the next world, leaving his dead body that is like a piece of wood or a clod of earth. Who is it that follows him there?
