trials and tribulations, sorrows visit a person for very long periods

प्रायेण च निसर्गत एवानायतस्वभाव भङ्गुराणि सुखानि आयतन स्वभावानि च दुःखानि॥

बाणभट्टविरचिते कादंबर्याः पूर्वभागे॥

Verily, by their inherent nature comforts and happiness, even when they visit a person are of very short duration and their existence is very fragile. However trials and tribulations, sorrows visit a person for very long periods and manage to cling to him much longer

This quote is from Bhanabhatta’s classic, Kadambari. This is the experience with most of us most of the time. But there is a fleeting comfort to read that fact reinforced by a master author.

Analysis.

प्रायेण generally निसर्गतः by their very nature च too अनायत fleeting, shortlived स्वभाव भङ्गुराणि esily brittle and fragile सुखानि state of happiness, comfort भवन्ति. Are तदा एव similarly आयतन of very prolonged, long living स्वभावानि nature दुःखानि च are sorrows, trials and tribulations.
