Pag nakita ang mga tandang ito, dapat niyang maunawaan na ang sariling buhay ay humihina. Kapag ang ilong ay pumapaling, at ang dalawang tainga ay may di-pantay na paglaylay at pag-angat, iyon ay palatandaan ng pagliit ng buhay.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) addressing the sages (deduced)
Scene: A calm but grave diagnostic scene: an elder or physician-like figure observes a person’s face—nose subtly crooked, ears uneven—while the subject contemplates shortened life.
Physical decline is interpreted as a dharmic reminder: use the remaining time for purification, truthfulness, and devotion.
No tīrtha is mentioned.
None; the verse lists bodily nimittas (signs).
