Shatakatraya 3.76

English (machine translation) 3.76

Language: English

3.76

Shall we dwell along the river of the gods, practicing ascetic austerity as virtuous men? / Or shall we court with reverence wives noble in virtues? / Or shall we drink the floods of treatises and the ambrosial nectar of diverse poems? / When life lasts but a few winks of an eye, we know not what to do!
