नागानंद - अनित्यता

क्रोडीकरोति प्रथमं जातं नित्यमनित्यता ।
धात्रीव जननी पश्चात्तदा शोकस्य कः क्रमः ॥

As soon as one is born, impermanence embraces him and stays with him all along; even before his mother gets hold of him. That being so, why should anyone feel grief when one finally dies?

नागानन्द - पापानि

सर्वाशुचि निधानस्य कृतघ्नस्य विनाशिनः ।
शरीरकस्यापि कृते मूढाः पापानि कुर्वते ॥

- नागानन्द

People do all sorts of dirty business, be disrespectful of those who help him, chase impermanent wealth - all these sins are committed by fools only for the sake of body.

- Nagananda

नागानन्द - वन

शय्या शाद्वलमासनं शुचिशिला सद्म द्रुमाणामधः
शीतं निर्झरवारि पानमशनं कंदाः सहाया मृगाः |
इत्यप्रार्थितलभ्यसर्वविभवे दोषोऽयमेको वने
दुष्प्रापार्थिनि यत् परार्थघटनावंध्यैर्वऋथा स्थीयते ||

- नागानन्द

A bed made of soft grass. Seats made of clean stones. Houses under the trees. Pure cold water to drink from the freely flowing streams. Various tubes (like potato) for food. There are animals that help (in their own way). All the luxuries that can be thought of are present in the forest. But it all the facilities lack only one thing - there is no body make use of it.
