"How much is the income? How much are the expenses?

The excess is just two,

And in the end, what remains?

Nothing remains."


Kids:

"How much is the income? How much are the expenses?

The excess is just two,

In the end, nothing remains."


Iyengar:

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... hmmm."

(Reflecting on counting money and realizing there's nothing left.)


Kids (Repeated):

"How much is the income? How much are the expenses?

The excess is just two,

In the end, nothing remains."



---


Iyengar:

"If there’s too much thought about fame, there will be no peace. Sir, there will be no peace.

If desire exceeds the limit, whatever you have will not remain. Madam, it will not remain."



---

But buying it costs thirty rupees."


Iyengar & Kids:

In the end, nothing remains."

Male Chorus:

Iyengar:

"Bhama’s victory is for Krishna. But here, for whom is it?"

(Referring to the purpose behind struggles and desires in life.)


Kids:

"Bhama’s victory is for Krishna. But here, for whom is it, Mother? For whom?"



---


Male Chorus:

"All women should live as virgins, and for that, Father, they should live that way."

(An ironic comment on societal expectations.)


Iyengar:

"If women live as virgins, why are there children, Sir? Why are there children?"


Male Chorus:

"It’s because of the sins of love, what else?"



---


Iyengar:

"If you experience it, you’ll understand the difference between old and new.

If you ask, you’ll know the question and the answer."

(Reflecting on learning through experience.)



---


Kids & Chorus:

"How much is the income? How much are the expenses?

The excess is just two,

In the end, nothing remains."

The repetitive refrain emphasizes the futility of excess desires and the difficulty of balancing income and expenses.
