Navarasas Poem by Indira Renganathan

Recurring occurrences, repeating experiences
Evoked heart emotes and expresses

Nature's instinct natural provocations
Naturally are humans on aesthetic emotions

Divine are the aesthetics godly fine
Undivine are the aesthetics destructive 'mine'

Everlasting Navarasas in never ending depiction
Endless portrayal immortal in description

Encompassed Rama and Sita at first sight
Espoused Sringara epically ethically bright

Tickled as the mind of a baby a clown
With Sursa did away brave hasya-Hanuman

Soul-filled composure, heartful karunya
Blessed Jatayu last rites done by merciful Rama

Sweet little Prahlada suffered the maximum
Salved from Hiranya Narasimha's raudram

Chivalrous chit valorous Krishna
Vanquished venomous Kaliya with great veera

Unfreed captive lonely Sita
Feared of Ravana out of bhayanaka

Conspiracy of Kaikeyi and Mantara
Churned up Ayodhya disgusting with bhipatsa

Revelation of ubiquitous Krishna
Amazed Arjuna stricken with adbhuta

Enlightened under the Pipal great Gautama
Enraptured by shanta great Buddha

Desirous is human emotion
Illumined divine, then blessed to salvation
