11.1.146

‘‘Ko nu hāso kimānando, niccaṃ pajjalite sati;
Andhakārena onaddhā, padīpaṃ na gavesathā’’ti.

146. Why laughter? why exultation? For the world is ever aflame.
Will ye not seek a light, ye that are shrouded in darkness?

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
