Sanskrit Text

मरणं जन्मनि प्रोक्तं जन्म वै मरणाश्रितम् अविद्वान्मोक्षधर्मेषु बद्धो भ्रमति चक्रवत्

English Translation

It has been said that death originates from birth. Birth is subject to the control of death. One unacquainted with the course of the duties of Liberation revolves like a wheel between birth and death, unable to free himself from that fate.
