1.1“Accayanti ahorattā,The days and nights rush by,1.2jīvitaṁ uparujjhati;and then life is cut short.1.3Āyu khīyati maccānaṁ,The life of mortals wastes away,1.4kunnadīnaṁva odakaṁ.like the water in tiny streams.

2.1Atha pāpāni kammāni,But while doing bad deeds2.2karaṁ bālo na bujjhati;the fool doesn’t realize—2.3Pacchāssa kaṭukaṁ hoti,it’ll be bitter later on;2.4vipāko hissa pāpako”ti.for the result will be bad for them.
