The sage king Janaka stands on a hill watching his city in flames "Endless is my wealth," he says, “I have nothing at all, and thus when this city of Mithila crumbles, red embers, white ashes all monuments of men destroyed, nothing of mine is burned." "I have nothing at all, and endless is my wealth.”  [[Shankara]] (8th century CE) Indian Monk and Scholar English version by W. S. Merwin & J. Moussaieff Mason [[PhilosophyWorks.org]]
