कस्मादिंदुरसौ धिनोति जगतीं पीयूषगर्भैः करैः
कस्माद्वा जलधारयैष धरणीं धाराधरः सिंचति ।
भ्रामं भ्राममयं च नंदयति वा कस्मात्त्रिलोकीं रविः
साधूनां हि परोपकारकरणे नोपाध्यपेक्षं मनः ॥ – भावविलास

sAdhUnAm hi paropakArakaraNe na upAdhyapekSham manaH ॥ – bhAvavilAsa
Why does the moon grace the earth with his pleasant rays? Why do the coulds shower pleasant rain on the ground to help us? Why does the Sun go round and round every day to light up all three worlds? All virtuous people never expect anything in return while helping others. – Bhavavilas
