एकमन्तं ठिता खो सा देवता भगवतो सन्तिके इमं गाथं अभासि:
Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“उपनीयति जीवितमप्पमायु, जरूपनीतस्स न सन्ति ताणा; एतं भयं मरणे पेक्खमानो, पुञ्ञानि कयिराथ सुखावहानी”ति।
“Upanīyati jīvitamappamāyu, Jarūpanītassa na santi tāṇā; Etaṁ bhayaṁ maraṇe pekkhamāno, Puññāni kayirātha sukhāvahānī”ti.
“This life, so very short, is led onward; one led on to old age has no shelter. Seeing this peril in death, do good deeds that bring you to joy.”
“उपनीयति जीवितमप्पमायु, जरूपनीतस्स न सन्ति ताणा; एतं भयं मरणे पेक्खमानो, लोकामिसं पजहे सन्तिपेक्खो”ति।
“Upanīyati jīvitamappamāyu, Jarūpanītassa na santi tāṇā; Etaṁ bhayaṁ maraṇe pekkhamāno, Lokāmisaṁ pajahe santipekkho”ti.
“This life, so very short, is led onward; one led on to old age has no shelter. Seeing this peril in death, a seeker of peace would drop the world’s bait.”
