स्वर्गिम आनन्दको, उडान भर्दैछन् दुर्जन
फाटेर मनमा धांजा, भास्सिंदैछन् सज्जन
हिंसा र द्रोहको कुनीतिले गर्दा
भीरबाट खसालिए, योग्यता र गुण
तर, डटेको छ शानले शिखरमा
रगत कटकटिएको फोहोरी अवगुण

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!
