The rat of time gnaws at the life-span without respite

The rat of time gnaws at the life-span without respite. The termite of disease eats the very vitals of the living being. Just as a cat intent on catching a rat looks at it with great alertness and readiness, death is ever keeping a watch over this life-span. - Lord Rama, Yoga Vasistha, Vairagya Prakaranam
