Megasthenes Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The story of Megasthanes in history
Who traveled in India by bare foot
The big lessons of history he learnt
And made a contribution of travelogues
As great man and transmigrant
Megasthanes walked along the country
People, place, kings, and emperors
The life situation of the masses
The big country he found the reality
The length and breadth of villages
The footpaths, forests, animals
The punishments meted out the criminals
The crimes committed by the criminals
Travelogue a great source of history
Travelogue sometimes the real episodes
But the real suffering of the man
Who traveled in such a length and breadth
The inspiration might be the real knowledge
The seeker of truth a good messenger of peace.
