8.70

All conscious beings fear death; / Those with life dread perilous danger. / Like fish stranded in a drying pond, / Rare is the chance to meet flowing water. / Close and distant alike are fathers and mothers; / How could one not grieve for them in time? / Simply rescue them from distress with compassion, / And karmic retribution will naturally follow.
