Abhanga 336Worldly Life

Nothing is Gained by Works of Law or Austerities

English Translation · I.P. 336

HE who casts his body away deceives time and creeps into a corner; such men cast rudely from them the rug they have long worn. They will not get another till the time comes; for the next chance is far out of sight. Tuka says, This is an impediment to service; it is a craving too hastily conceived. OUR FAITH A REWARD OF MERIT 121

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
