Shatakatraya 3.32

English (machine translation) 3.32

Language: English

3.32

Birth is overtaken by death, and radiant youth by old age; / contentment by the desire for wealth; the peace of serenity by the seductive charms of mature women; / virtues by envious people; forest tracts by beasts of prey; kings by wicked persons; / and even fortunes are destroyed by instability. What, indeed, has not been devoured by something?
