What, I spoke to you, O ranger of the night, to prevent you, for your welfare, did not please you. Persons, whose lease of life is well-nigh expired, do not pay heed to the well-meaning words of their friends.
निवार्यमाणस्य मया हितैषिणा न रोचते ते वचनं निशाचर। परान्तकाले हि गतायुषो नरा हितं न गृह्णन्ति सुहृद्भिरीरितम्॥
