Shatakatraya 3.14

3.14

dhanyānāṃ giri-kandareṣu vasatāṃ jyotiḥ paraṃ dhyāyatāmānandāśru-
jalaṃ pibanti śakunā niḥśaṅkam aṅkeśayāḥ |
asmākaṃ tu manorathoparacita-prāsāda-vāpī-taṭakrīḍā-
kānana-keli-kautuka-juṣām āyuḥ paraṃ kṣīyate ||

Blessed are those dwelling in mountain caves, meditating on the Supreme Light,
whose tears of joy birds drink without fear, resting in their laps;
while our life merely wastes away as we take pleasure in the amusement of frolicking
in pleasure-gardens, ponds, and palaces fashioned by mere fantasies.
