Bhartrihari. The Century of Life
On Virtue
Here Vishnu sleeps, here find his foes their rest;
The hills have taken refuge, serried lie
Their armies in deep Ocean’s sheltering breast;
The clouds of doom are of his heart possessed,
He harbours nether fire whence he must die.
Cherisher of all in vast equality,
Lo, the wide strong sublime and patient sea!
