SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Virtue

The Abomination of Wickedness

Rare are the hearts that for another’s joy

Fling from them self and hope of their own bliss;

Himself unhurt for other’s good to try

Man’s impulse and his common nature is:

But they who for their poor and selfish aims

Hurt others, are but fiends with human names.

Who hurt their brother-men, themselves unhelped,

What they are we know not, nor what horror whelped.
