SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Virtue

The Softness and Hardness of the Noble

Being fortunate, how the noble heart grows soft

As lilies! but in calamity’s rude shocks

Rugged and high like a wild mountain’s rocks

It fronts the thunders, granite piled aloft.
