Heraññakāni (THAG2.13)

Verses of the Senior Monks 2.13

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Two

Heraññakāni

The days and nights rush by,

and then life is cut short.

The life of mortals wastes away,

like the water in tiny streams.

But while doing bad deeds

the fool doesn’t realize—

it’ll be bitter later on;

for the result will be bad for them.
