I can understand what you say, yet, few translation can beat the original. You have to be true to the original poet's expression without deviating too much. However the translation has to be a poem, not a drab prose. This is the challenge. I have translated thousands of Sanskrit verses, and feel emboldened to attempt. But it is a hard drill. Thank you for your comments.

This is a great philosophical poem by Prabhulal Dwivedi which is well trsanslated by you. It is good that you have juxtaposed the original poem in Gujarati language. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
