2ND FUNDAMENTAL SCRIPTURE
असंखयं जीविय मा पमायए, जरोवणीयस्स हु णत्थि ताणं । एवं वियाणाहि जणे
पमत्ते, किण्णू विहिंसा अजया गहिंति
ASAMKHAYAM JĪVIYA MĀ PAMĀYAE, JAROVAŅĪYASS HU ŅATTHI TĀŅAM ||
EVAM VIYĀŅĀHI JAŅE PAMATTE, KIŅŅŪ VIHIMSĀ AJAYĀ GAHIŅTI
Life is unpredictable hence one should not ease his alertness even for a moment. No one generally thinks of surrendering to a guru when nearing old age. Then think whose refuge these illiterate, violent, and indiscrete people will seek at the time when life is about to end? Thus there is no savior to protect them from death and attaining an inferior mode of life in the next birth.
जे पावकम्मेहिं धणं मणुस्सा, समाययंति अमइं गहाय । पहाय ते पासपयट्टिए णरे, वेराणुबद्धा णरयं उर्वति
