Translation

The rays of the moon are pleasant. The forest region covered by grass is pleasant. The happiness rising from the company of the good men is pleasant. Narratives in the poetic compositions are pleasant. The face of the beloved girl stained by the tear drops rising out of anger is pleasant. Everything is pleasant. But again, not so for the mind which knows the ephemeral nature of objects. ॥ 79 ॥
