Verse 374. He Is Happy Who Reflects On Rise And Fall

Whenever one reflects
on aggregates’ arise and fall

‘Tis Deathless for Those-who-know.

Explanation: When the meditator reflects upon the raise and the decay of the bodily aggregates he experiences a joy and ecstasy which is a fore taste of Nibbana for those who know it.
