Subhāṣitaratnakośa 720 (22.21)

प्रिये प्रयाते हृदयं प्रयातं निद्रा गता चेतनया सहैव ।
निर्लज्ज हे जीवित न श्रुतं किं महाजनो येन गतः स पन्थाः ।। (धर्मकीर्तेः)

upajāti

when the lover's gone, so is the heart,
and sleep runs away, together with the mind;
hey shameless life, haven't you heard?
you walk the same way everyone else does.
:: the true path is that of the Great One.

--by Dharmakīrti
