You are not fond of the gold castles,
Lord of wealth, Kubera
Submits to your mortification,
Greed cannot move you to a feast of fifty-six meals,
You exclaim,
“To attain mental peace,
Contentment is mandatory”.
I know
You are the origin
Of rivers of the world
You are the crack through which
The golden egg escapes
Oh Lord of the highest peaks!
It is an eternal question,
Do you embrace nature or
Does nature embrace you?
Your answer will pacify me.
