Bhartṛhari K162

Tawney

            
            By mighty sages' will this world first saw its natal day, 
            
            Others have conquered it, and thrown with scorn its wealth away. 
            
            Others rule fourteen higher worlds all happier than ours, 
            
            Why then should lords of some few towns thus vaunt their petty powers?

            57. In ancient times (the kingdom of) this world was created by some large-hearted monarchs; by some was it sustained (i.e., ruled) and by others was it conquered and given away like straw. Even now, some heroes enjoy the fourteen divisions of the world. For what then is this feverish pride of men having sovereignty over a few towns only?
            
            [चतुर्दश भुवनानि—The fourteen divisions of the world, that is, the entire created universe.]
