Purūravā’s Song of Renunciation and the Glory of Sādhu-saṅga
सेवतो वर्षपूगान् मे उर्वश्या अधरासवम् । न तृप्यत्यात्मभू: कामो वह्निराहुतिभिर्यथा ॥ १४ ॥
sevato varṣa-pūgān me urvaśyā adharāsavam na tṛpyaty ātma-bhūḥ kāmo vahnir āhutibhir yathā
ဥရဝသီ၏ နှုတ်ခမ်းအမృతဟု ခေါ်သည့်အရာကို နှစ်ပေါင်းများစွာ ခံစားခဲ့သော်လည်း ငါ့နှလုံးထဲက ကာမစိတ်သည် ထပ်ခါထပ်ခါ မြင့်တက်၍ မတည်ငြိမ်၊ ဂျီထည့်အာဟုတီများဖြင့် မငြိမ်းနိုင်သော မီးကဲ့သို့ပင်။
