THE KURAL
6. Behold the men who follow the righteous ways of Him who hath burned away the desires of the five senses : their days will be many upon the earth.
7. They alone escape from sorrow who take refuge in the feet of Him who hath no equal.
8. The stormy seas of wealth and sense delights cannot be traversed except by those who cling to the feet of the Sage who is the Ocean of Righteousness.
9. Worthless indeed like the organs of sense which do not perceive is the head that boweth not at the feet of Him who is endowed with the eight attributes.2
10. They alone cross the ocean of births and deaths who take refuge in the feet of the Lord : the others traverse it not.
