THE VAIRAGYA-ŚATAKAM

 64. Clear of delusion and earn devotion to Him whose crown is begemmed with the crescent. Oh heart, accept attachment to some spot on the banks of the celestial river (Gaiga). What reliability is there on waves or bubbles, flashes of lightning or (Smiles of) fortune, in tongues of fame, serpents, or hosts of friends ?

चेतश्चिन्तय मा रमां सकृदिसमस्थायिनीमस्थया
भूपालभ्रृ कुटीकुटीविहरणव्यापारपण्याङ्गनाम् ।
कन्थाकञ्चुकिनः प्रविश्य भवनद्वाराणि वाराणसी-
रथ्यापंक्तियु पाणिपात्रपतितां भिक्षामपेक्षामहे ॥६५॥

Let us clothe ourselves in ragged garments and entering the doors of houses in the streets of Varanasi wait for the alms to be placed in the receptacle of our hands.

अग्र गीतं सरसकवयः पार्श्वर्दाक्षिणात्याः

नो चेचतेः प्रविश सहसा निविकल्पे समाधौ ॥६६॥
