(La fille de Therma Rajah (le bon roi) était en méditation...)
La fille de Therma Rajah (le bon roi) était en méditation sur le sommet de Richi-Sombo, le mont des Contemplations. Indra, qui regarde à la fois toutes les choses et chaque chose, observait la pieuse Monghir, au pied de larbre saint, planté par Ardjown sur le sommet du mont, pour servir aux saints personnages exténués par le jeûne, et pour ombrager le lac de Tamara, qui nest formé que des pleurs des pénitents. Ses eaux, bien que plus transparentes que lair serein, ne représentent point les traits de ceux qui viennent sy regarder ; mais, par un prodige de Celui qui peut tout, ce sont les âmes qui sy peignent elles-mêmes sous des formes expressives et avec les symboles de leurs vertus ou de leur vices. Honneur et gloire à Brahma, le père et lami des âmes !

Stanislas de Boufflers was born near Nancy, France on the 31st of May 1738; the son of Louis Francois, marquis de Boufflers. His mother, Marie Catherine de Beauveau Craon, was the mistress of Stanislas Leszczynski, and the boy was brought up at the court of Luneville.
He spent six months in study for the priesthood at Saint Sulpice, Paris, and during his residence there he put in circulation a story which became extremely popular, Aline, reine de Golconde. Boufflers did not, however, take the vows, as his ambitions were military.
Boufflers entered the Order of the Knights of Malta, so that he might be able to follow the career of arms without sacrificing the revenues of a benefice he had received in Lorraine from King Stanislas. After serving in various campaigns he reached the grade of Marechal de camp in 1784, and in the next year was sent to West Africa as governor of Senegal. He proved an excellent administrator, and did what he could to mitigate the horrors of the slave trade; and he interested himself in opening up the material resources of the colony, so that his departure in 1787 was regarded as a real calamity by both colonists and negroes. The Memoires secrets of Bachaumont give the current opinion that Boufflers was sent to Senegal because he was in disgrace at court; but the real reason appears to have been a desire to pay his debts before his marriage. During the Revolution he found an asylum with Prince Henry of Prussia at Rheinsberg. At the Restoration he was made joint-librarian of the Bibliotheque Mazarine. His wit and his skill in light verse had won him a great reputation, and he was one of the idols of the Parisian salons. He died in Paris on the 18th of January 1815.
His Oeuvres completes were published under his own supervision in 1803. A selection of his stories in prose and verse was edited by Eugene Asse in 1878; his Poesies by O. Uzanne in 1886; and the Correspondance indite de la comtesse de Sabran et du chevalier de Boufflers (1778–1788), by E. de Magnieu and Henri Prat in 1875.

Boufflers was a member of the Academy Francaise, a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and a member of the states-general.
His paradoxical character was described in an epigram attributed to Antoine de Rivarol, “abbe libertin, militaire philosophe, diplomate chansonnier, emigre patriote, republicain courtisan. ”
He married Mme de Sabran at Breslau.
