ALL OR NOTHING Vishnu or Shiva—but one god I crave;   One friend—a lordly king or hermit good;   One home—a city or a lonely wood; One love—a beauty or a desert cave.

Tawney

Between Vishnu and Siva there's nothing to choose, Be thy home but a cave, it will serve thee as well, Man in woods and in deserts the same course pursues, And a friend's but a friend in a court or a cell.

St. V. - The first line but , curiously enough , stopping at

a , may often be heard repeated by our old people . At p . 43 of

the Kavyasangraha this Stanza is given as Ghaṭakarpara's , and at

p . 46 as Halayudha's . The idea of the Stanza is that all

should make their choice of the alternatives stated . The two

cannot be joined . - S'alini .
