SRI AUROBINDO

Translations

from Sanskrit and Other Languages

Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

Miscellaneous Verses

Man Infinite

Earth is hemmed in with Ocean’s vaster moan;

The world of waters flows not infinitely;

A high unwearied traveller, the Sun

Maps out the limits of the vaulted sky.

On every creature born a seal is set

With limits budded in, kept separate.

Only man’s soul looks out with luminous eyes

Upon the worlds illimitably wise.
