Translation“It is useless to maintain this body any longer. I should die at once. I am becoming senseless. How can I endure this intolerable fire of separation?” Commentary“I am ruined. How unsteady I am in separation from that person for whose loving union I am sitting in this deep forest in the dreadful darkness of night. I lost all composure and sense. Where can I go? It is better to die. How much separation can I tolerate? All signs of hope have proven false. My body is worthless, otherwise Hari would not neglect it in this way. I have acted courageously by coming here on my sakhé’s words, but all my endeavours are in vain. It is useless to go on living.” |
