Ranjit Pandit’s translation of Kalhan’s Rajatarangini starts with lines:
Shadow is itself unrestrained in its path while sunshine, as an incident of its very nature, is pursued a hundredfold by nuance. Thus is sorrow from happiness a thing apart; the scope of happiness, however, is hampered by the aches and hurts of endless sorrow.
– Taranga VIII, Sloka 1913
