महाशय्या पृथ्वी विपुल्मुपधानं भुजलता
वितानं चाऽकाशं व्यजनमनुकूलोयमनिलः
शरत्चन्द्रो दीपो विरतिवनितासङ्गमुदितः
सुखी शान्तः शेते मुनिरनुभूतिर्नृप इव
भर्त्रुहरेः वैरग्यशतकं ९४
mahaśayyā pṛthvī vipulmupadhānaṁ bhujalatā
vitānaṁ cā'kāśaṁ vyajanamanukūloyamanilaḥ
śaratcandro dīpo virativanitāsaṅgamudiutaḥ
sukhī śāntaḥ śete muniranubhūtirnṛpa iva
bhartruhareḥ vairagyaśatakaṁ 94
The comfortable masterbed is the bare earth, the bent arm is the cozy pillow, the upper cover for the bed is the infinite sky, the comfortable fan is the cool breeze, the bedroom lamp is the autumn moon and the companion for sleep is renunciation. perfectly happy and peace with himself, the ascetic sleeps. Can any monarch equal him in this?
The feeling of comfort and happiness is in the mind of the one who thinks about it. For a king, or for an average human being, we want a comfortable bed witha pillow, bedstead, fan, company in the bed and other comforts, and still we hardly sleep. For a free mind nothing is necessary.
