Neeti Shataka: On Fools Redux

Monday, 22. May 2006 - 1:08 PM

Ed: Bhartruhari seems to have spent a considerable portion of his life preparing a catalogue of fools. Here’s one more verse on that, perhaps the last.

Varam Parvatadurgeshu Bhraantam Vanacaraih Saha|
Na Moorkhajanasamparkah Surendrabhavaneshvapi||

How agreeable it is to wander with
Wild brutes in dense forests and mountains than
In the company of imbeciles although the
Walk might be in Indra’s palatial premises.
