Men to that past belong—for me! I do not grieve, I am not shedding tears. And as for thee, good sir, I fear thee not. Lost on all sides is love of worldly joys. The gloom of ignorance is rent in twain. Defeating all the myrmidons of death, Here do I bide (to rest), sane and immune.”\[^1) - [Previous: v2.c19.s3.t1.87](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.87) - [Next: v2.c19.s3.t1.89](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.89) - [Up: v2.c19.s3.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.88](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s3.t1.88) · Pramāṇa
