सेणे जह वट्टयं हरे, एवं आउखयंमि तुट्टइ
As the hawk kills the quail in one stroke, so also after completion of age, death takes away life
The hawk kills the quail in one stroke. Similarly, after completion of age, death strikes the living beings and instantly takes the life out.
Knowing the imminence of death, an aspirant should never be lazy in pursuance of his path of salvation. One who remembers death; never takes interest in sins. He knows that for temporary pleasures he should not indulge in sins because life is receding every moment.
- Sutrakritanga Sutra 1/2/1/2
