Bhartṛhari K190

Brough

            
            A man who has the world for his wide bed.
            
            His arm for pillow and the sky for tent.
            
            The pleasant wind to fan him, overhead
            
            Bright moon for lamplight, and his calm content
            
            His consort - were it not he lacked one thing,
            
            Life’s anxious fear, would sleep like any king.

Tawney

            
            Stretched out at ease upon the ground, and pillowed on his arm,
            
            The houseless hermit sleeps in peace, secure from nightly harm,
            
            The breeze his fan, his lamp the moon, his canopy the sky, —
            
            What royal palace of this earth can such delights supply?

            LXXXVIII 
            
            One boasted: “Lo, the earth my bed,
            
            This arm a pillow for my head,
            
            The moon my lantern, and the sky
            
            Stretched o'er me like a purple canopy.
            
            “No slave-girls have I, but all night
            
            The four winds fan my slumbers light.” — 
            
            And I astonished : Like a lord
            
            This beggar sleeps; what more could wealth afford?

Mādhavānanda

            
              महाशय्या पृथ्वी विपुलमुपधानं भुजलता
            
                वितानं चाकाशं व्यजनमनुकूलोऽयमनिल: ।
            
              शरच्चन्द्रो दीपो विरतिवनितासङ्गमुदित:
            
                सुखी शान्त: शेते मुनिरतनुभूतिर्नृप इव ।।९४।।
            
            94. The earth is his vast bed, the arms his ample pillow, the sky is his canopy, the genial breeze his fan, the autumnal moon is his lamp, and rejoicing in the company of abnegation as his wife, the sage lies down happily and peacefully, like a monarch of undiminished glory.
