2.2 Piṇḍolabhāradvāja#

You can’t live by fasting,
But food doesn’t lead to peace of heart.
Seeing how the body is sustained by food,
I wander, seeking.

They know it’s a swamp,
This worship and homage from respectable families;
A subtle dart, hard to pull out;
It’s hard for a corrupt person to give up honour.
