KACHA The time has come for me to take leave, Devayani; I have long sat at your father's feet, but to-day he completed his teaching. Graciously allow me to go back to the land of the Gods whence I came. DEVAYANI You have, as you desired, won that rare knowledge coveted by the Gods;--but think, do you aspire after nothing further? KACHA Nothing. DEVAYANI Nothing at all! Dive into the bottom of your heart; does no timid wish lurk there, fearful lest it be blighted? KACHA For me the sun of fulfilment has risen, and the stars have faded in its light. I have mastered the knowledge which gives life. |
