Yayati said : O son, you have sprung from my heart, but you do not give me your youth. As you find so many faults with decrepitude, decrepitude will overcome you. Your sons will die as soon as they will attain to their youth. You shall not be able to perform any sacrifice before fire.
ययातिरुवाच यत् त्वं मे हृदयाजातो वयः स्वं न प्रयच्छसि। जरादोषस्त्वया प्रोक्तस्तस्मात् त्वं प्रतिपत्स्यसे॥ प्रजाश्च यौवनप्राप्ता विनाशिष्यन्त्यनो तव। अग्निप्रस्कन्दनपरस्त्वं चाप्येर्वं भविष्यसि॥
