Sardābhara pari-péśala-māyuh kim dhanaih kuruta mamaniudyam. 2
1. This life is like the colours of the setting Sun, like the bubbles of water or fickle like a drop of water on a blade of grass; and youth is like a current of floods in a river. O Wicked Soul I therefore, why do you not become enlightened ?
2. Prosperity is unsteady like the waves of water (on a sea), youth lasts for three or four days, and आयु. Ayuh, the duration of life, is like the clouds of the monsoons. Then, What is the use of wealth ? Therefore, practise the excellent Dharma.
On hearing the preaching King Gangila decided to renounce the world. He entrusted the management of his kingdom to his son, and received at tr Dikśā, Initiation into his Order of Monks with great celebration aling with his parents.

युष्माभिर्दीक्षा गृहीता परं शुद्धा पालनीया, शुद्धं संयम विना मुक्ति नं भवति । एके सिंहतुल्या भूत्वा दीक्षां लात्वा फेरुवत् पालयन्ति, एके जनाः कातराः फेरव इव गृहीतवताः सिंहा व पालयन्ति संयमम्, एके कातराः फेरव इव संयमं गृहीत्वा फेरव इव पालयन्ति, एके सिंहा इव साह सिका व लात्वा सिंहा इव पालयन्ति शुद्धं संयमम् । तेन भवद्भिस्तथा चारित्रं यतनया पालनीयं यथा करतलगता मुक्तिश्रीः भवतां भवति ॥ यतः " एगदिवसंपि जीवो, पव्वज्जमुवागओ अनन्नमणो । जई वि न पावइ मुक्खं, अवस्स वेमाणिओ होइ ॥१ ।।
