Be assured that if you have made friends of the mighty,
they cannot help you in the last hour. Rather
utter the name of Rama; make this provision,
the best of all, or Yama will gnash his teeth and
rend you. Amass, if you will, crores of wealth; it
will not release you from the grasp of death. No
train of followers or host innumerable will save
you; only till death appears you may waste your
might. Tuka says, Good sir, cut short the revolu-
tions of birth and death!
