द्वौ सम्मताविह मृत्यू दुरापौ
    यद् ब्रह्मसंधारणया जितासुः ।
कलेवरं योगरतो विजह्याद्
    यद्ग्रणीर्वीरशयेऽनिवृत्तः ॥

- भागवत

dvau sammatau iha mRutyU durApau
    yad brahma sandhAraNayA jita asuH ।
kalevaram yogarato vijahyAd
    yad agraNIH vIrashayeH anivRuttaH ॥

- bhAgavata

There are two difficult ways of dying honourably. Both are very difficult. One is to be able to reconcile with the supreme being and leave this body as is and die by performing Yoga (that enables you to control your breath). The other is to be in the fore-front of an army and never return from battlefield.

दुर्मंत्रिणं कमुपयान्ति न नीतिदोषाः
    संतापयन्ति कमपथ्यभुजं न रोगाः ।
कं श्रीर्न दर्पयति कं न निहन्ति मृत्युः
    कं स्त्रीकृता न विषयाः परितापयन्ति ॥

- हितोपदेश, विग्रह

durmantriNaM kam upayAnti na nItidoShAH
    santApayanti kaM apathyabhujam na rogAH ।
kam shrIH na darpayati kam na nihanti mRutyuH
    kam strIkRutA na viShayAH paritApayanti ॥

- hitopadesha, vigraha

Which bad minister is immune to the after effects of his ill advice? Who does not fall sick after eating bad food? Who does not become arrogant when he becomes rich? Who does death spare? Who does not get agitated (excited) by the pleasure a woman can give.

जातस्य ममृत्युर्ध्रुव एष सर्वतः
    प्रतिक्रिया यस्य न चेह क्षुप्ता ।
लोको यशश्चाथ ततो यदि ह्यमुं
    को नाम मृत्युं न वृणीत युक्तम् ॥

- भागवत

jAtasya mRutyuH dhruva eSha sarvataH
    pratikriyA yasya na cheha kShuptA ।
loko yashaH cha atha tato yadi hyamum
    ko nAma mRutyum na vRuNIta yuktam ॥

- bhAgavata

Death is certain for every being that is born. It is the same truth every where. There is no way to get around this truth. But if one is guaranteed a good re-birth and fame, then who would not like death?

क्षुण्णोऽपि रोहति तरुः
    क्षीणोऽप्युपचीयते पुनश्चन्द्रः ।
इति विमृशन्तः सन्तः
    संतप्यन्ते न विधुरेषु ॥

     santapyante na vidhureShu ॥

- tilakamanjari

A tree grows back after beign cut. The moon always grows back after the reducing cycle. Wise men know this and understand that life is similar. So, they do not grieve the departure of their loved ones.

सहैव मृत्युर्व्रजति सह मृत्युर्निषीदति ।
गत्वा सुदीर्घमध्वानं सह मृत्युर्निवर्तते ॥

- रामायण, अयोध्या

sahaiva mRutyuH vrajati saha mRutyuH niShIdati ।
gatvA sudIrgham adhvAnam saha mRutyuH nivartate ॥

If you go anywhere, death follows you. If you sit, it will sit next to you. If you go somewhere far, it will come with you. At last, it will take you along with it.

- Ramayana, Ayodhya
