28.5

svasukhanirabhilāṣaḥ khidyase lokahetoḥ
pratidinam, athavā te vṛttir evaṃvidhai 'va,
anubhavati hi mūrdhnā pādapas tīvram uṣṇaṃ,
śamayati paritāpaṃ chāyayā cā 'śritānām. || 5 ||

Devoid of longing for your own pleasure, you suffer daily for the sake of the world; / Or rather, such is your very nature: / For the tree experiences intense heat with its head, / Yet assuages the scorching heat of those who seek shelter under its shade. || 5
