सेलाउन सक्दैनन् गुणवान्, स्वाभाविक आफ्ना गुण
न ती सक्छन् गुण बोकी बस्न, गुणवैरिका साथ
न छ त्यस्तो ठाउं सुलभ, जहां छैनन् गुणद्रोही
गुणी-विद्वान् टिक्ने अब, जगत्मा छैन कुनै गति
तरपनि गुमाई प्रियतम प्रकृति, स्वभाव
गर्नुपर्ने सज्जनले फोहोरी जगत्को उपकार
चल्छ यात्रा त्यसले हरदिन, यो धूर्तताको संसारको
निरन्तरको व्यायामले, धोक्रो भर्दै पापको

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!
