Tawney
Alms are not difficult to gain, great Rama showed the way;
The earth yields roots, the deer skin keeps the winter's cold away;
Whether we joy or grieve we're still of destiny the slaves;
Why should I leave the three-eyed god to court blind purse-proud knaves?

न भिक्षा दुष्प्रापा पथि मम महारामरचिते
फलैः संपूर्णा भूद्विपमृगसुचर्मापि वसनम् ।
सुखैर्वा दुःखैर्वा सदृश परिपाकः खलु तदा
त्रिनेत्रं कस्यका धनलवमदान्धं प्रणमति ॥ २२ ॥
