all its force and becomes as unbearable as it was when it first
befell us The reading सज्जनेषु (due to separation from a good
relative) is not good, as it introduces an unnecessary limit-
ation One feels deep sorrow though one's near relative may
not be a saint Compare for the idea 'अनपेक्ष्य रुरोद सा मृगा स्तनम-
