[52] Pabbatopama-gāthā The Mountain 75<br />
Like gigantic boulders, mountains reaching to the sky<br />
Moving in from all sides, crushing the four directions,<br />
In the same way, aging & death roll over living beings: Noble<br />
warriors, priests, merchants, workers, outcastes, & scavengers.<br />
They spare nothing, they trample everything.<br />
Here elephants can hold no ground nor can chariots or infantry.<br />
Nor can a battle of spells or wealth win out.<br />
So a wise person, seeing his own good,<br />
Secures firm conviction In the Buddha, Dhamma, & Saïgha.
