। ॥ १६ ॥
In plain words
Not one moment of your life — not the smallest sliver of one — can be bought anywhere, for any amount of gold. And if the whole of it goes for nothing, what loss is greater than that?
Close to the Sanskrit
A mere fragment of an instant of life is not obtained by crores of gold anywhere. If all of that goes in vain — what loss is greater than that?
