Shatakatraya 3.99

3.99

The cupped hand is a pure bowl, roaming alms are inexhaustible food,
the ten directions are an ample garment, the unshakable earth is an immense bed:
blessed are those whose hearts are satisfied by embracing detachment;
casting off the heap of miserable entanglements, they eradicate karma.
In comparison to that great dominion, even sovereignty over the three worlds is tasteless;
having attained that, take no pleasure in pleasures dependent on food, clothing, and honor.
There is only one supreme pleasure, ever-arisen in manifestation,
from whose taste all sense objects, even kingship over the three worlds, turn tasteless.
