अनित्यता।
There is nothing which is not capable of being warded off by even the three worlds (Heaven, Earth and Hell), by the offering of presents and adoration or by policies of conciliation and division, and that is transi. toriness.
सव्वत्थ निरणुकोसा निव्विसेसं पहारिणी। सुत्त-मत्त-पमत्ताणं एगा जग्गि अणिच्चया ॥ १८ ॥ सर्वत्र निरनुक्रोशा निर्विशेषं प्रहारिणी। सुप्तमत्तप्रमत्तानामेका जगत्यनित्यता ॥ ८॥
In this world there is only onething which is everywhere cruel, which strikes without any distinction and spares not even one while asleep or intoxicated or insane, and this is transitoriness.
जल-लव-तरलं जीयं अथिरा लच्छी विभंगुरो देहो। तुच्छा य काम-भोगा निबंधणं दुक्ख-लक्खाणं ॥ ६ ॥ जललवतरलं जीवितमस्थिरा लक्ष्मीविभङ्गरो देहः । तुच्छाश्च कामभोगा निबन्धनं दुःखलक्षाणाम् ॥ ६ ॥
Life is unstable like a drop of water, wealth is unsteady and the human body is fragile, (a) the grati. fication of sensual passion is unsubstantial and is the cause of ippumerable miseries ( lit : lacs of miseries ) (a) c. f. "This tenement of clay" &c. “Dust thou art to dust” &c.
