khalv āto divaseśvarasya kiraṇaiḥ santāḍito mastake
vāñchan deśam anātapaṃ vidhi-vaśāt tālasya mūlaṃ gataḥ |
tatrāpy asya mahāphalena patatā bhagnaṃ saśabdaṃ śiraḥ
prāyo gacchati yatra bhāgya-rahitas tatraiva yānty āpadaḥ ||
A bald man, scorched on the crown of his head by the sun's rays, / desiring a spot free from heat, went by force of fate beneath a palmyra tree; / there too, his head was cracked with a crash by a large falling fruit. / Wherever an unfortunate person goes, calamities almost always follow him there.
