jaritāriruvāca |
purataḥ kṛcchrakālasya dhīmāñjāgarti pūruṣaḥ |
sa kṛcchrakālaṃ saṃprāpya vyathāṃ naivaiti karhicit || 1 ||

"Jaritari said, 'The person that is wise remaineth wakeful in view of death. Accordingly, when the hour of death approacheth, he feeleth no pangs. But the person of perplexed soul, who remaineth not awake, when the hour of death comes, feeleth the pangs of death and never attaineth salvation.'
