न चेह जीवितः कश्चित् कालधर्ममुपागतः ।
प्रियो वा यदि वा द्वेष्यः प्राणिनां गतिरीदृशी ॥ ९४ ॥
इति दिवा प्रभवतो गृध्रस्य पुरुषविसर्जनपरमिदं वचनम् ॥
आदित्योयं स्थितो मूढाः स्नेहं कुरुत सांप्रतम् ।
बहुविघ्नो मुहूर्तोयं जीवेदपि कदाचन ॥ ९५ ॥
अमुं कनकवर्णाभं बालमप्राप्तयौवनम् ।
गृध्रवाक्यात्कथं मूढास्त्यजध्वमविशङ्किताः ॥ ९६ ॥
इति निशि विजृम्भमाणस्य गोमायोर्जनव्यावर्तननिष्ठं च
वचनमिति प्रबन्ध एव प्रथते ॥
beings; when once one has fallen a victim to death, one
never revives, whether one be loved or hated; such is the
end of all living beings'.
This is followed by the following from the jackal who
can feed on the body only when night has arrived and
who tries to dissuade the people from going away early—
'O foolish men! the sun is still up; satisfy your
affections yet; the present may be an inauspicious mo-
ment, and it is just possible the dead may come back to
life after sometime; how is it that like fools you are with-
out any hesitation, merely on the word of the vulture,
leaving behind this boy of golden complexion who has
scarcely attained youth?'
Exactly what is meant by the two speakers here is
indicated only by the context.
The other eleven varieties of this suggestion (through
Context) are not illustrated here; as that would make
our work too prolix; they can be easily followed from
the definition itself.
