SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

Miscellaneous Verses

The Flame of the Soul

Insulted, wronged, oppressed the unshaken mind,

Treasuring its strength, insurgent its high will,

Towers always, though beat fiercely down to hell.

The torch is to the inglorious soil declined,

Its flame burns upward and unconquered still.
