अन्यापदेश शतक - विधिपरवशा चित्तवृत्तिः

कः संबंधो यदभिरमते वीक्ष्य मेघं मयूरी
    कैवासत्तिर्यदमृतरुचौ सानुबंधा चकोरी ।
को वा हेतुः पतति परितो यत्कृशानौ पतंगः
    प्रायेणैवं विधिपरवशा प्राणिनां चित्तवृत्तिः ॥

What is the bonding between clouds and a peacock that makes it dance every time a dark could passes by? What is the source of love between the moon and chakora bird? Why does the moth circle around flames and finally die with it? All these beings are strung together by providence to things that they do.
