Devanagari script
क्वचिन्नृत्यति शृङ्गारं क्वचिद्रौति मुहुर्मुहुः आश्रमे ह्यटते भैक्ष्यं याचते च पुनः पुनः
Transliteration
kvacinnṛtyati śṛṅgāraṃ kvacidrauti muhurmuhuḥ āśrame hyaṭate bhaikṣyaṃ yācate ca punaḥ punaḥ
Translation
Tantôt il danse avec grâce, comme épris; tantôt il pleure encore et encore. Dans l’ermitage il va et vient, mendiant l’aumône, la demandant sans cesse—au dehors il paraît inconstant, mais au dedans il demeure fixé en Śiva, le Pati, au-delà du pāśa qui enchaîne le paśu (l’âme).
