That We Should Renounce It

English Translation · I.P. 849

AJEWEL becomes a woman when her husband sees her wearing it. If a loose woman bedecks herself, every one laughs at her. If a man is a hero, his speech is a graceful ornament upon him. Tuka says, Life without something at stake is contemptible. WE SHOULD RENOUNCE THE WORLD 277

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
