Though the soul is unchanging and pure, when enveloped by ego, it identifies with base tendencies—forgetting its divine origin.
Like scriptures protected from fire, water, and rodents, one must guard sacred knowledge with immense effort.
Water holds all seeds, fire holds all gods, the wife holds all happiness, and compassion holds all dharmas.
In water lie all seeds; fire houses all gods; wife bears joy; and a Brahmin embodies all sacred gifts.
Impurity arises from interaction with outcastes, animals, and bodily excretions—ritual purification must follow.
Laxmana, glowing with valor, surpasses even Cupid in beauty and pride—radiant in lineage, power, and restraint.
An ominous moment is when someone talks at night, or abuses cows and Brahmins—speech shapes destiny.
The spring breeze, perfumed and wild, caresses blooming creepers, stirring emotions in bees and separated lovers.
May Shiva’s fire, crowned by serpents and wild beauty, save us from worldly delusion.
In lotus ponds touched by sunlight, bees hum over blooming lilies—reviving joy in the heart of even the blind turtle of sorrow.
