Shloka 37
पुराउभिवाति मारुतो यमस्य यः पुर:सर: । पुरैक एव नीयसे कुरुष्व साम्परायिकम्,जिस समय यमराजके आगे-आगे चलनेवाला प्रचण्ड कालरूपी पवन चल पड़ेगा, उस समय वह अकेले तुम्हींको वहाँ ले जायगा; अतः तुम पहलेसे ही परलोकमें सुख देनेवाले धर्मका आचरण करो
purābhivāti māruto yamasya yaḥ puraḥsaraḥ | purāka eva nīyase kuruṣva sāmparāyikam ||
Ketika angin dahsyat Sang Kala—yang berjalan mendahului Yama—mulai berhembus, engkau akan digiring pergi seorang diri. Maka sejak sekarang, jalankanlah dharma yang membawa kesejahteraan di alam seberang.

Educational Q&A
Death comes inevitably and must be faced alone; therefore one should cultivate sāmparāyika-dharma—conduct and virtues that secure welfare beyond this life—without delay.
Vyāsa admonishes the listener with an image: when Yama’s herald—the powerful wind of Time—arrives, it carries a person away alone, so one should prepare through righteous living now.
