Even mighty kings like Sahasrabahu and Ravana could not escape all-powerful Death. With pride people amassed wealth and mansions, yet in the end they departed completely empty-handed.

This verse reminds us of the fleeting nature of worldly power and possessions. Mighty kings like Sahasrabahu and the ten-headed Ravana commanded immense strength and vast empires, yet even they could not escape all-powerful time and death. Human beings spend their whole lives lost in the illusion of ego, gathering wealth and building grand palaces while proudly thinking, this is all mine. But when the final call arrives, no one can carry a single treasure with them. Everyone leaves this world with empty hands. The couplet gently urges us to look beyond pride and material gains, reminding us that true peace comes from humility and a meaningful life.
