Whose value is
of the body or of the pay,
of the inanimate or of the conscious? Ornaments and embellishments have been taken off
from the body of the spring,
the cover under which sensuality hides
that cloth has also been taken off.
The sensuality dwells
neither in the body nor in the clothes, rather, it dwells in the mayainfluenced mind.
The physical body of the spring is lying
totally inactive, uncoverd
like a dried up flower devoid of smell.
His mouth is a bit open,
rasana (tongue) coming out somewhat topsy-turvy
seems saying
rasa na (no taste) in materialistic life!
And
ra..sa..na..., na..sa..ra
i.e., the spring had no sara (head),
no mind to examine the good and the bad,
that is why
the saints have no effect
on the spring-like life.
The time of cremation has at last arrived,
the atmosphere of non-attachment appears prevailing
