भास्करनन्दि-विरचितः
96 You never yield to displeasure or pleasure, Oh Lord,
with anything or with anybody. Yet a mortal attains fruits from you by himself,
with his mind intent upon you.
97
Thus, in short, stated with devotion
in the form of a hymn, By the knower of a little,
not out of pride in poetic skill.
98
If any mistake be found here in the meaning and word,
due to the state of my imperfect knowledge, May it be kindly corrected with the purity of intention.
99 He would spit not, lies not down carelessly,
says not to the other, “Come," "Go,"
but let him come or go as he may, He would scratch not his body, walks not at night,
would open not his door nor close it, He depends not on anything, he was thus told,
endowed with virtuous qualities. Having taken the paryanka posture, at the end of
renunciation, he attained to the auspicious state. Venerable he was, Sarvasādhu, the Saint of All.
