08 ayam svabhaavah

अयं स्वभावः स्वत एव यत्पर-
श्रमापनोदप्रवणं महात्मनाम् ।
सुधांशुरेष स्वयमेव कर्कश
प्रभाभितप्तामवति क्षितिं किल
विवेकचूडामणि: ३८

ayaṃ svabhāvaḥ svata eva yatpara-
śramāpanodapravaṇaṃ mahātmanām |
sudhāṃśureṣa svayam eva karkaśa
prabhābhitaptāmavati kṣitiṃ kila
Vivekacūḍāmaṇi: 38

This habit, namely, relieving the stress and strain of the others, is characteristic of the high-souled (Mahātmās)! Does not the moon, by its cool and soothing rays, relieve the earth, scorched all day long by the exceedingly hot rays of the sun?
