गणकयन्त्रद्वार

In the dusk and early evening hours of my life, I have been integrating a language that I feel was with me at the very beginning of things, before the dawn of it.

मम जीवन-सन्ध्यायां सायं-वेलायां च
तां भाषाम् आत्मसात् करोमि
यां मन्ये वस्तूनाम् आदौ एव मया सह आसीत् —
तस्य उषसः पूर्वम्।

mama jīvana-sandhyāyāṃ sāyaṃ-velāyāṃ ca
tāṃ bhāṣām ātmasāt karomi
yāṃ manye vastūnām ādāv eva mayā sahāsīt —
tasya uṣasaḥ pūrvam.
