महाभारत - वन - आशा

अहन्यहनि भूतानि गच्छन्तीह यमालयम् ।
शेषाः स्थावरमिच्छन्ति किमाश्चर्यमतःपरम् ॥

- महाभारत, वन

ahani ahani bhUtAni gacChanti iha yamAlayam ।
sheShaH sthAvaram icChanti kim Ashcharyam ataH param ॥

- mahabhArata, vana

Every day; day after day, people see others going to death's home. Still, the rest long for immortality. Is there any bigger irony than this?

- Mahabharata, Vana
