Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
On Virtue
He is a son whose noble deeds and high
His loving father’s heart rejoice;
She is a wife whose only jewellery
Is her dear husband’s joy and bliss;
He the true friend whose actions are the same
In peaceful days or hours of bale and shame;
These three who wins, finds earth his Paradise.
