Sri Aurobindo

Translations

CWSA.- Volume 5

Part One. Translations from Sanskrit
Section Four. Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Karma

Flowers from a Hidden Root

With store of noble deeds who here arrives,

Finds on this earth his well-earned Paradise.

The lonely forest grows his kingly town

Of splendour, every man has friendly eyes

Seeing him, or the wide earth for his crown

Is mined with gems and with rich plenty thrives.

This high fate is his meed of former lives.
