The Hundred Verses of Amaru 1.99

1.99

purābhūdasmākaṃ niyatamavibhinnā tanuriyaṃ
tato nu tvaṃ preyānvayamapi hatāśāḥ priyatamāḥ |
idānīṃ nāthastvaṃ vayamapi kalatraṃ kimaparaṃ
mayāptaṃ prāṇānāṃ kuliśakaṭhinānāṃ phalamidam ||66||(69)

Formerly, this body of ours was surely indivisible;
then you were the lover, and we, wretched ones, were the most beloved;
now you are the lord and we are the wife—what more?
This is the fruit I have attained for having lives as hard as a thunderbolt! ||66||(69)
