Subhāṣitāvalī 3136

इह सरजसि मार्गे चञ्चलो यद्विधाता
ह्यगणितगुणदोषो हेतुशून्यत्वमुग्धः ।
सरभस इव बालः क्रीडितः पांसुपूरै-
र्लिखति किमपि किंचित्तच्च भूयः प्रमार्ष्टि ।। (कस्यापि)

mālinī

on this dusty road, nothing that
Fate arranges is certain.
he doesn't care about good or bad;
a senseless, irrational idiot.
like an impetuous child,
entertained by a slab of clay,
he traces something or the other
then rubs it out again.
