Kalidasa

“God Shiva and his mountain bride,Like word and meaning unified,The world's great parents, I beseechTo join fit meaning to my speech.”

“O my good fortune, please subdue the anguish of your Soul. Nobody is destined only to happiness or to pain. The wheel of life takes one up and down by turn.”

“There in the fane a beauteous creature stands, The first best work of the Creator's hands; Whose slender limbs inadequately bear A full orbed bosom, and a weight of care; Whose teeth like pearls, whose lips like Bimbas show, And fawn-like eyes still tremble as they glow.”

“If a professor thinks what matters mostIs to have gained an academic postWhere he can earn a livelihood, and thenNeglect research, let controversy rest,He's but a petty tradesman at the best,Selling retail the work of other men.”

“न रत्नमन्विष्यति मृग्यते हि तत्”
