Alas, the darling of thy companions! Alas, thou possessed of all virtues, where art thou? Tell me! (Throwing up his hands.) Alas! alas! woe! Firmness has now no home. To whom can modesty go for protection? Who in the whole world now possesses patience? Liberality has ceased, and truth has verily perished! Whither now can pity go, itself worthy of pity? The whole world has become void by thy departure to another, O my son! > — Palmer Boyd 1872, Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World - [Previous: 5.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.30) - [Next: 5.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.32) - [Up: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5) ## Translations (1) - [Nágánanda, or The Joy of the Snake-World](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda~en-boyd.5.p141) — Palmer Boyd 1872, English ## Linked texts (1) - [Nāgānandanāṭaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.avadana.nataka.naganandanataka.5.31) — Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.lit.plays.nagananda.5.31) · Pramāṇa
