At Rājagaha. Standing to one side, the god Uttara recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“ဥပနီယတိ ဇီဝိတမပ္ပမာယု, ဇရူပနီတဿ န သန္တိ တာဏာ; ဧတံ ဘယံ မရဏေ ပေက္ခမာနော, ပုညာနိ ကယိရာထ သုခါဝဟာနီ”တိ၊
“This life, so very short, is led onward. There’s no shelter for one led on by old age. Seeing this peril in death, do good deeds that bring happiness.”
“ဥပနီယတိ ဇီဝိတမပ္ပမာယု, ဇရူပနီတဿ န သန္တိ တာဏာ; ဧတံ ဘယံ မရဏေ ပေက္ခမာနော, လောကာမိသံ ပဇဟေ သန္တိပေက္ခော”တိ၊
“This life, so very short, is led onward. There’s no shelter for one led on by old age. Seeing this peril in death, a seeker of peace would drop the world’s bait.”
