Immortality

Transliteration

 

Devebhyah kam avrnita mrtyum

Prajayai kam amrtam navrnita.

 

Translation
 

For the sake of the gods, he (Brihaspati) chose death.

He chose not Immortality for the sake of man.

 

Comment

 

Brihaspati houses the flowing life of the gods and treasures the glowing love of man.
