Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
Miscellaneous Verses
That man whose soul bright beauty cannot pierce
With love’s sweet burning javelins from her eyes,
Nor sorrow torture his heart, nor passions fierce
Miserably over his senses tyrannize,
Conquers the world by his high-seated will,
The man well-balanced, noble, wise and still.
