अलातं तिन्दुकस्येव मुहूर्तमपि विज्वल । मा तुषाग्निरिवानर्चिः काकरङ्खा जिजीविषुः । मुहूर्तं ज्वलितं श्रेयो न तु धूमायितं चिरम्॥५-१३१-१३॥
Blaze forth, even if only for a moment, like a tinduka-brand. Do not be like a chaff-fire—smoky and without flame—merely clinging to life. A brief, luminous burning is preferable to a long, smoke-filled existence.
