कुबाटोमा उम्रेको, कुकर्मको क्यारीमा हुर्केको
गलत मनसायको कमजोर जरामा उभिएर
कुविचारको वर्षाले सिंचिएको
यो मान्छेको मन
आज भएको छ रूख
दोष विकार अवगुणको मल पाएर
फलेफुलेको छ खूब

About these bitter bites
These come from a bit spiced up and extended translation of a rare Sanskrit poem I discovered in Nepal Archives in a palm-leaf manuscript dated in the 14th century CE. I guess that the poem was composed around the 11th century CE, probably in Nepal.
It is strikingly modern in its content, and reading it, one feels as if it is talking about presentday Nepal, or some society in a similar situation. So, I decided to render it in Nepali. Its Sanskrit original with an English translation will soon appear in JNRC 13.
For the time being, read these and feel bitter!
