Verse 235:
You are now like a withered leaf;
the messengers of death are near you;
you are about to set out on a long journey;
(yet), you have no provisions (for the journey).
Verse 236:
Make an island of yourself,
quickly strive and wise become,
freed from stain and passionless
to go to the pure Abodes.
Verse 237:
Now you are of advanced age;
you are going to the presence of the King of Death
and you cannot stop on the way;
(yet) you have no provisions (for the journey).
Verse 238:
Make a firm support for yourself;
hasten to strive hard, and be wise.
Having removed impurities and being free from moral defilements
you will no longer be subject to rebirth and decay.
