Shatakatraya 3.6

3.6

Wrongs were borne, but not through patience; the pleasure fitting for home was abandoned, but not out of contentment;
the affliction of unbearable cold, heat, and wind was endured, but ascetic austerity was not performed;
wealth was meditated upon day and night with restrained breaths, but not the feet of Śambhu:
we performed the very deeds that sages perform, yet were cheated of their fruits!
