SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Wealth

A Miracle

Behold a wonder mid the sons of men!

The man is undiminished he we knew,

Unmaimed his organs and his senses keen

Even as of old, his actions nowise new,

Voice, tone and words the same we heard before,

The brain’s resistless march too as of yore;

Only the flattering heat of wealth is gone,

And lo! the whole man changed, his praises done.
