The sayings in this section have been collected from various sources like the Valmiki Ramayana, Adhyatma Ramayana and the Yoga Vasishtha Ramayana.
- Aeons after aeons pass, and the flux that is called Time remains unaffected and steady. Time has therefore neither rise, nor movement, nor a static condition.
- Time again is the moon for the lotus of man's youth, and a lion to the elephant of men's span of life. There is nothing to be found on earth, big or small, which Time does not make an end of.
- With no device of the intellect could man penetrate the mystery of Time. For, in the world of life, Time is the most patent entity.
- Just as the fire burns the abode of men, Time burns men by rousing various ambitions in their hearts. This tyrant of Time has no compassion even for one who is laden with sorrow.
- O Sage, what ignorant people take for an abode of enjoyment is in fact a receptacle of pangs: life is fleeting, youth short-lived, childhood darkened by lack of intellect, and death terrible.
