7.
Jehim vā saddhim samvasati te vā ņam egayā ņiyagā tań puvviṁ parivayamti, so vā te niyage pacchá parivaejja.
7.
Some day (on the attainment of old age ), he begins to be reprimanded by the members of his own family; and later on he also starts reprimanding them.
८. नालं ते तव ताणाए वा, सरणाए वा। __तुम पि तेसिं नालं ताणाए वा, सरणाए वा।
Nålam te tava tānãe vā, saranae vā. Tumaṁ pi tesim nālam tánáe vă, saraņãe vā.
(O old man!) They (the members of your family) are not capable to protect you or to give refuge to you ; nor are you in a position to protect them or give them refuge.
९. से ण हस्साए, ण किड्डाए, ग रतीए, ण विभूसाए । 3. Se na hassäe, na kiddãe, na ratie, na vibhūsãe. 9. He (an old man) is not fit enough for either light
hearted raillery, or frolick, or sexual intercourse, or a dornment of himself.
१०. इच्चेवं समुट्ठिए अहोविहाराए। 10. Iccevam samutthie ahovihārāe. 10. Hence, (apprehending the repercussions flowing from
old age, ) one should rise to exert oneself in the practice of self-discipline (or asceticism).
ANNOTATION 10: Generally people lead their life by indulging in violence and amassing wealth. They have a strong conviction that worldly life is not possible without doing so. Such conviction is responsible for leading a life lacking in self-discipline.
