Sallasutta (Suttanipāta, No. 34, Majjhima Nikāya), v. 578, Dasaratbajataka, No. 461 (Fausböll, IV. p. 127), and Mūgapakkhajataka, No. 536 (Fausbốil, VI. p. 28): Phalanam iva pakkanam niccam patanato bhayam Evam jätānam maccānam niccan maranato bhayam. Cf. Udãnav., ch. 1. ("Impermanency'), v. 11: " As the ripe fruit is always filled with the dread of falling, so likewise he who has been born is filled with the fear of death". Cf. Rāmāyaṇa, II. 105. v. 17 : Yathả phalanim pakrānām nânyatra patanād bhayan Evani narasya jātasya nânyatra marapäd bhayari.
