2.13.25

As long as this body is healthy and free from disease, as long as old age is far off,
as long as the power of the senses is unimpaired, and as long as there is no exhaustion of lifespan—
just so long should a great effort be made by a wise man for the welfare of his soul;
what kind of attempt is it to dig a well when the house is already ablaze?

2.13.25.p1

Thus ends the thirteenth chapter, named 'Praise of the Release of a Bull, the Duty of Giving, Sons, and the Like', in the dialogue between Śrī Kṛṣṇa and Garuḍa, in the Pretakalpa of the Dharmakāṇḍa, in the second part of the Latter Section of the glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa.
