316 Arhat Guṇavīryavardhana (Pure Virtue of Enlightenment)
An eighteen-year-old girl is like a flower; a twenty-year-old youth is in his prime. But youth fades easily; time flows silently, like a great river rushing eastward, sifting away sand. How many heroes will remain?
For those who receive this verse, one is in a time of triumph, with excellent opportunities. But time flies easily, and years pass quickly. The river of time flows eastward. Who will be the true gold in the end is unknown. Therefore, one needs to work harder and keep pace with the times.
