करोति सुहृदां दैन्यमहितानां तथा मुदम् ।
अकाले च जरां पित्रोः कुपुत्रः कुरुते ध्रुवम् ॥
karoti suhṛdāṃ dainyam ahitānāṃ tathā mudam /
akāle ca jarāṃ pitroḥ kuputraḥ kurute dhruvam

Didactic dharma section; not within the five purāṇic lakṣaṇas.
‘Akāla-jarā’ functions as a symbol of prāṇa-kṣaya (drain of life-force) caused by grief, shame, and continual anxiety produced by adharmic attachment.
