SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On the Wicked

Natural Enmities

Trust not thy innocence, nor say, “No foe

I have the world through;” other is the world.

The deer’s content with simple grass, yet bow

Of hunter fears; the fisher’s net is hurled

To catch the water’s innocents; his high

And simple life contented leads the good,

Yet by the evil heart insatiably

With causeless hatred finds himself pursued.
