1.12
婦復為梵志說喻言：「我等夫婦，因緣共會，須臾間已。譬如飛鳥暮栖高樹，擾擾作聲，向明各自飛去，行求飲食。有緣則合，無緣則離，夫婦如是，無常對至，隨其本命，不能相救。」
The wife likewise spoke a parable to the brahmacārin, saying, "We as husband and wife came together through causes and conditions for merely a fleeting moment. It is like birds that roost in a high tree at dusk, chattering noisily, and at dawn fly off in their own directions to seek food. When conditions are present, they unite; when conditions are gone, they part. Husband and wife are just like this: when the retribution of impermanence arrives, each follows their own destiny, and we cannot save each other."
