No, my friends, I shall never be an ascetic,
whatever you may say. I shall never be an ascetic
if she does not take the vow with me.
It is my firm resolve that if I cannot find

I shall never turn ascetic.
No, my friends, I shall never leave my hearth and home,
and retire into the forest solitude,
if rings no merry laughter in its echoing shade
and if the end of no saffron mantle flutters in the wind;
if its silence is not deepened by soft whispers.
I shall never be an ascetic.
