भत्काइएका छन् सारा, बाटाघाटा पुलपुलेसा
घोषित भएको छ हिंसाको भीर, राजमार्ग चौडा
तर आत्मसम्मान भएको यौटा मान्छे
किन छोडोस् हिंड्न सन्मार्गमा, र भागोस्
फगत ज्यान जोगाउन, आत्मप्रेममा
कांसको फूलको भुवासरि
उड्दै गन्तव्यहीन, शरद्ऋतुको आकाशमा

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!
