Bhartṛhari K150

Tawney

            
            Much have I borne rich hosts to please
            
              Who love to taunt their guests,
            
            I've laughed with spirit ill at ease,
            
              And praised their vapid jests;
            
            I've mastered wrath with strong control,
            
              And bent the supple knee;
            
            Then, hopeless hope, why rack the soul,
            
              Proof against all but thee?

            खलालापा: सोढा: कथमपि तदाराधनपरै-
            
              निर्गृह्यान्तर्बाष्पं हसितमपि शून्येन मनसा ।
            
            कृतो वित्तस्तम्भ­प्रतिहतधियामञ्जलिरपि
            
            त्वमाशे मोघाशे किमपरमतो नर्तयसि माम् ।।४।।
            
            4. In our servile attendance on the (wealthy) wicked, their shabby manners and talk we have somehow put up with; suppressing tears that welled up from our hearts, we have smiled out of vacant minds; obeisance we have made to dullards stultified by too much wealth; in what more fooleries wouldst thou have me dance, oh Desire, thou of ungratified yearning!
            
            [वित्तस्तम्भप्रतिहतधियाम्—those rendered dull in intellect by in­ac­tivity due to too much wealth. मोघाशे—with hopes thwarted. Another reading is चित्तस्तम्भ: as a separate word. The meaning then would be: ‘We have restrained our feelings and made obeisance,’ etc.]
