Teacher #18. Osprey -

 

braahmaNaH uvaacha .

parigrahaH hi duHkhaaya yat yat priyatama.n nR^iNaam.h .

ananta.n sukham aapnoti tat vidvaan yaH tu aki~nchanaH .. 1..

 

The Brahmana said: The source of misery is indeed the acquisition of

whatever men love most. One who knows this and desires no acquisition

enjoys everlasting happiness. 1 .

saamishha.n kurara.n jaghnuH balinaH ye niraamishhaaH .

tat aamishhaM parityajya saH sukha.n samavindata .. 2..

 

The stronger ospreys which had no flesh attacked the osprey which had

it. The latter then dropped the piece of flesh and felt happy. 2 .
