his clean forehead has got besmeared,
otherwise,
why not in day,
why in night only he comes out of his dwelling?
That too
fearing like a thief
hiding his small face,.......!
And,
why does he remain far away from the earth,
while the sun
migrates near the earth?
Alas!

It is a harsh truth that 'the moneyed eyes
cannot see the summum bonum,
the greed for money
has made shameless even great ones.'
It is different that
the sea is also the abode of the original pearls
as
the material cause of the pearls is water; i.e., the water takes the form of the pearl
