Kalidasa

Bhartrihari. The Century of Life

On Wisdom

Rarities

Whatever most the soul on earth desires,

Are rarities, as, a virtuous son; a wife

Who wholly loves; Fortune that never tires;

A friend whose sweet affection waters life;

A master pleased; servants that ne'er deceive;

A charming form; a mind no sorrows grieve;

A mouth in wisdom proved that makes not strife.

These to his favourites being pleased allows

Hari, of whom the world grows amorous.
