[INDOLOGY] A distraction from the Coronavirus

Wed Apr 1 08:03:05 UTC 2020

Good one, Christian. May I suggest निश्चयः instead of प्रत्ययः so you avoid
the pr licence?

Correcting the silly mistake in my previous one: तत्क्षणात्.
And trying a slightly more ambitious one:

निराशो ऽभूत्कृष्णो व्रजयुवतिवृण्दापरिवृतः

सभायां शून्यायां किमिव करणीयं सुरपतेः।

विकारं यातं धिग्जगदखिलमेकस्त्वविकृतः

यथापूर्वं ह्यास्ते शिखरिशिखरे स्थाणुरजने॥

Krishna is depressed, because he is not surrounded by a flock of Braj
girls. Whatever can Indra do with the assembly hall empty? Damn this whole
world in its sorry state - but one is unchanged: as ever, Shiva remains on
his unpeopled mountaintop.
