| Thou kingly bird of my mind! Give up thy vain wanderings and quest after other things, and sport for ever in the nest of Siva's feet, which are resorted to by the birds of holy men fluttering amidst the branches of the tree of the Vedas, and which are rendered charming by the fruits of liberation -- imperishable, joy-giving, pain-healing and nectarine. |
