Shatakatraya 3.1

3.1

The Century of Renunciation
of Bhartṛhari

Resplendent with a flickering crest-flame, adorned on his crown with the lovely crescent moon,
having burnt in sport the fluttering moth of Kāma, blazing before the state of highest bliss,
dispersing the surging mass of darkness of boundless delusion within,
the lamp of knowledge, Hara, reigns supreme in the pure abode of the yogins' hearts.
