Sida 140 - Government, it will consequently promote a more liberal and enlightened system of instruction; embracing mathematics, natural philosophy, chemistry, anatomy, with other useful sciences, which may be accomplished with the sum proposed by employing a few gentlemen of talent and learning educated in Europe, and providing a college furnished with necessary books, instruments, and other apparatus.
Sida 24 - Oh ! golden red the mangoes, and glad the feasts of spring, And fair the flowers to lie upon and sweet the dancers sing. Sweetest of all that temptress who dances for him now With subtle feet which part and meet in the Ras measure slow, To the chime of silver bangles, and the beat of rose-leaf hands, And pipe and lute and cymbal played by the woodland bands ; So that wholly passion-laden — eye, ear, sense, soul o'ercome — Krishna is theirs in the forest ; his heart forgets its home.
Sida 135 - This, together with my known sentiments on that subject, having produced a coolness between me and my immediate kindred, I proceeded on my travels...

At any rate, whatever men may say, I cannot be deprived of this consolation : my motives are acceptable to that Being, who beholds in secret, and compensates openly...
Sida 140 - In representing this subject to your Lordship I conceive myself discharging a solemn duty which I owe to my countrymen...
Sida 18 - I saw him in the grove with happier damsels, yet the sight of him delighted me. Soft is the gale which breathes over yon clear pool, and expands clustering blossoms of the voluble Asoka — soft yet grievous to me in the absence of the foe of Madhu.
Sida 137 - By taking the path which conscience and sincerity direct, I, born a Brahman, have exposed myself to the complainings and reproaches even of some of my relations, whose prejudices are strong, and whose temporal advantage depends upon the present system. But these, however accumulated, I can tranquilly bear, trusting that a day will arrive when my humble endeavours will be viewed with justice — perhaps acknowledged with gratitude/) At any rate, whatever men may say, I cannot be deprived of this consolation...
