Immortality

 

Transliteration

Devebhyah kam avrnita mrtyum

Prajayai kam amrtam navrnita.

Translation
 

For the sake of the gods, he (Brihaspati) chose death.

He chose not Immortality for the sake of man.

Comment

Brihaspati houses the flowing life of the gods and treasures the glowing love of man.
