Life is swept along,
next-to-nothing its span.
For one swept on by aging
    no shelters exist.
Perceiving this danger in death,
one should do deeds of merit
    that bring about bliss.

[The Buddha:]

Life is swept along,
next-to-nothing its span.
For one swept to old age
    no shelters exist.
Perceiving this danger in death,
one should drop the world's bait
    and look for peace.
