Pabbatopama Gāthā

The Simile of the Mountains

Just like a big coral
Its top rise to celestial
Changed and wrecked
Because of erosion from 4 direction.

Thus moldiness and death
Control all beings, whether he is;
Knight, Brahmana, vendors, workers,
Caste outcast or street cleaners.

No one can be free
Everyone will meet the death for sure
In this case, there is no place for elephants
Troops and soldiers;
There is nothing with war Mantra
Or wealth can overcome death.

Cause this, the wiser
After seeing the advantages of merit for himself
Then they make his faith stronger to:
Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha

Whoever doing Dhamma nicely
With mind, speech and action
This person is very commandable
And after die, he be happy in heaven.
