Sanskrit Text

कालेन कालज्ञः स्पृष्टः शोचितुमर्हति तेन शक्र शोचामि नास्ति शोके सहायता

English Translation

Conversant as I am with the virtues of Time, I should not grieve when it is Time that has attacked me. It is therefore, O Shakra, that I do not grieve. Grief can do us no good. The grief of one that indulges in grief never dissipates his calamity. On the other hand, grief destroys his power. It is therefore that I do not grieve.
