निवार्यमाणस्य मया हितैषिणा न रोचते ते वचनं निशाचर। परान्तकाले हि गतायुषो नरा हितं न गृह्णन्ति सुहृद्भिरीरितम्॥
nivāryamāṇasya mayā hitaiṣiṇā na rocate te vacanaṃ niśācara| parāntakāle hi gatāyuṣo narā hitaṃ na gṛhṇanti suhṛdbhirīritam||
English Meaning
What, I spoke to you, O ranger of the night, to prevent you, for your welfare, did not please you. Persons, whose lease of life is well-nigh expired, do not pay heed to the well-meaning words of their friends.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
