Translation
(WHERE CAN YOU RUN AWAY FROM THE CLUTCHES OF THE CRUEL FATE?)
A man who has no hair left on his head (because of an illness called IndraLupta), tormented by the heat of the Sun burning his head, searches for a place free of sun’s heat; runs quickly to the shade of a Taala tree, and stands under it. Even there, the huge fruit of the tree fell on his head and his skull shattered off with a great noise. It is a common fact that wherever a man un-favored by destiny goes, the difficulties follow him. ॥ 84 ॥
