Uttara Sutta
From Wikipitaka - The Completing Tipitaka
Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna
1. It was at Rajagaha.
The son of the gods, Uttara standing on a side, said this stanza in the presence of the Blessed One:
- "The life span is short and life flies by.
- There is no shelter to those, overcome by decay.
- Seeing this fear in death, do merit that bring pleasant results.
- The life span is short and life flies by.
- There is no shelter to those, overcome by decay.
- Fearing death, seek appeasement by giving up worldly matter."
