Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 7, Ch. 7]
by dogs, jackals or moths and thus turned into useless stool, ashes or earth. The living entity wastes his time in a futile attempt to gain material possessions for the comfort of one body after another.
TEXT 44
किमु व्यवहितापत्यदारागारधनादयः । राज्यकोशगजामात्यभृत्याप्ता ममतास्पदाः ॥४४॥
kim u vyavahitāpatya- dārāgāra-dhanādayaḥ rājya-kośa-gajāmātya- bhṛtyāptā mamatāspadāḥ
kim u —what to speak of;  vyavahita —separated;  apatya —children;  dāra —wives;  agāra —residences;  dhana —wealth;  ādayaḥ —and so on;  rājya —kingdoms;  kośa —treasuries;  gaja —big elephants and horses;  amātya —ministers;  bhṛtya —servants;  āptāḥ —relatives;  mamatā-āspadāḥ —false seats or abodes of intimate relationship (“mineness”).
TRANSLATION
Since the body itself is ultimately meant to become stool or earth, what is the meaning of the paraphernalia related to the body, such as wives, residences, wealth, children, relatives, servants, friends, kingdoms, treasuries, animals and ministers? They are also temporary. What more can be said about this?
