Kalidasa
Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
Miscellaneous Verses
The world teems miracles, breeds grandest things,
But Rahu of all most marvellous and great
Or the vast Boar on white tusks delicate
Like buds who bears up earth, else chaos rings.
Rahu, cleft, trunkless, deathless, passionate,
Leaps on his foemen and can overbear,
A miracle, then, greater miracle, spare.
