Craving Stays Young
Bhartrihari · Vairagya Shataka 8
वलीभिर्मुखमाक्रान्तं पलितेनाङ्कितं शिरः ।
गात्राणि शिथिलायन्ते तृष्णैका तरुणायते
Meaning · English
The face is wrinkled, the hair grey, the limbs slack. Only craving is still young.
अर्थ · हिन्दी
चेहरे पर झुर्रियाँ पड़ गईं, सिर के बाल सफेद हो गए, अंग ढीले पड़ गए। बस एक तृष्णा है जो अब भी जवान है।
