अभ्रच्छाया तृणादग्निः पराधीनं च यत्सुखम् ।

अज्ञानेषु च वैराग्यं क्षिप्रमेतद्विनश्यति ॥ ६९६

 

Abhrachchaya trunadagnih paradhinam cha yatsukham ।

Ajnaneshu cha vairagyam kshiprametadvinashyati ॥

 

Shadow of a cloud, fire in the grass, happiness dependent on others,

renunciation based on ignorance will vanish in no time.

 

नास्ति कामसमो व्याधिर्नास्ति मोहसमो रिपुः ।

नास्ति कोपसमो वह्निर्नास्ति ज्ञानात्परं सुखम् ॥ ६९७

Nasti kamasamo vyadhirnasti mohasamo ripuh ।

Nasti kopasamo vahnirnasti jnanatparam sukham ॥

 

There is no disease equal to lust, no enemy equal to infatuation,

no fire equal to anger and no happiness equal to knowledge.

 

समुद्र इव कामः न वै कामस्य अन्तोऽस्ति न समुद्राय । ६९८

 

Samudra iva kamah sav ai kamasya anto asti na samudraya । 

Desire is like the ocean. There is no end to the ocean and no end to desire.

 

संगमविरहविकल्पे वरमिहविरहो न संगमस् तस्याः ।

संगे सैव तथैका त्रिभुवनमपि तन्मयं विरहे ॥ ६९९

 

Sangamavirahavikalpe varamihaviraho na sangamas tasyah ।

Sange saiva tathaika tribhuvanamapi tanmayam virahe ॥

 

As a lover,I may imagine that there will be blessings when we are apart. When she is with me, she is the only one. When she is away, I see her in all the three worlds.

 

भो पान्थ पुस्तकधर क्षणमात्र तिष्ठ

वैध्योऽसि किं गणीतशास्त्रविशारादोऽसि ।

केनौषधेन मम पश्यति भर्तुरम्बा

किंवाऽऽगमिष्यति पतिः सुचिरप्रवासी ॥ ७००

 

Bho pantha pustakadhara kshanamatra tishta

Vaidhyo asi kim ganitashastravisharado asi ।

Kenaushadhena mama pashyati bharturamba

Kim va agamishyati patih suchirapravasi ॥

 

O, traveler holding a book, please stop for a moment.

Are you a doctor or an astrologer?

What medicine will make my mother-in-law even look at me?

When will my always travelling husband return home?
