Rasarnavasudhakara 2.29

English (machine translation) 2.29

Language: English

2.29

From old age, as in:
"It greatly increases my tremor through fear;
it greatly dims my indistinct sight with streams of tears;
it greatly produces speech of faltering syllables through choked utterance—
today my joy indeed aids old age!"

2.29.p1

(Ratnāvalī 4.13)

2.29.p2

Here, since joy is spoken of as a companion to old age, the predominance of exhaustion through old age itself is understood, even through the consequents common to both, such as trembling.
