for him, the day-and-nights
do not suck out his treasure in yonder world;
he goes after a treasure that has not been sucked dry.
Bharadvāja lived in Vedic studentship for three lifespans.
To him, lying there, worn out and old,
Indra came up and said:
"Bharadvāja,
if I were to give you a fourth lifespan,
what would you do with it?"
"I would practice Vedic studentship with it," he said.
