Verse
यथा प्रदीप्तं ज्वलनं पतंगा विशन्ति नाशाय समृद्धवेगाः ।तथैव नाशाय विशन्ति लोकास्- तवापि वक्त्राणि समृद्धवेगाः ॥
yathā pradīptaṃ jvalanaṃ pataṃgāviśanti nāśāya samṛddhavegāḥtathaiva nāśāya viśanti lokās-tavāpi vaktrāṇi samṛddhavegāḥ
As a swarm of moths with ever-increasing speed fall to their destruction into a fire that someone has kindled, so now the nations with ever-increasing speed are entering into Thy jaws of doom.
Gītā 11·29
