By performing deeds good or bad, one pleases his people. Death seizes him possessed of sons and animals, and with mind given to them, and runs away like a tiger carrying away a sleeping deer. While still engaged in acquiring various objects of desire, and while still unsatiated with their enjoyment, Death attacks him and runs away like a she-wolf seizing a sheep and running away with it.-_'This has been done,-this remain to be done this other is half done'-one may say thus, but Death, not caring for a person's desire to finish his unfinished acts, seizes and drags him away. Death seizes and carries away one who has not yet gained the fruit of what he has already done, amongst those attached to action, one busied with his field or shop or house. Death seizes and carries away the weak, the strong, the wise, the brave, the idiotic, the learned, or him who has not yet obtained the gratification of any of his desires. Death, decrepitude, disease, sorrow, and many things of a similar nature, cannot he shunned by mortals. How then O father, can you sit so at your ease? As soon as an embodied creature is born, Decrepitude and Death come and possess him for his destruction.
