SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

Miscellaneous Verses

Magnanimity

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.
