Bhartṛhari K290

Tawney

            
            The chief of saints declare no joy can vie with theirs
            
            Who fling on Siva's breast the burden of their cares,
            
            Taking no thought for wealth, by daily bounty fed,
            
            Blessed and pure, exempt from envy, pain, and dread.

            30. The great yogīs describe food which begging brings as follows: it does not humiliate (vide verse no. 23); it is an independent pleasure (i.e., not dependent on the pleasure of earning money, fulfilling social duty, etc.); it is in all respects free from any anxious fear (i.e., about one’s expenditure, foodstores, etc.); it destroys wicked pride, egotism and impatience; it eradicates the manifold evils of worldly existence; it is easily available anywhere any day without efforts; it is the beloved of the holy men; it is a purification by itself; it is like the inexhaustible feeding-house of Śiva, access to which none can prevent.
