घमण्डले मत्त स्वार्थी कुमान्छेको सम्पत्ति
हुन्न शोभित रत्तिपनि, ओइलिएको फूलसरि
तर सधैं सुमान्छेको दानवीरको सम्पत्ति
बास्ना छर्ने मौरी डाक्ने, हुन्छ सुन्दर कमलसरि

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!
