स्वप्नेन्द्रजालवत् पश्य दिनानि त्रीणि पञ्च वा, मित्रक्षेत्रधनागारदारदायादिसम्पदः। ॥2॥

svapnendrajālavat paśya dināni trīṇi pañca vā, mitra-kṣetra-dhanāgāra-dāra-dāyādi-sampadaḥ. (2)

This verse encourages us to see material possessions and relationships as temporary and insubstantial, much like a fleeting dream or an illusion, reminding us that they do not last long. It suggests that we should not become overly attached to these worldly things.
