LAVA KUSA (UTTARAKANDA)
Having conquered King Marutta
Ravana attacked King Anaranya.
...
MAHABHARATA
After the war at Kurukshetra,
Krishna ruled Dwaraka.
...
Ramabrahmam, his father
And Seethamma his mother
Led a pious-humble life
Under a thatched roof.
...
Thyagaraja learnt, within a year,
From his Guru, no wonder,
All the lessons from its basic
To the last notes in the music.

Hardly five years passed
Parvathi, his wife, died.
He married her sister
Kamalambal, the junior.
...
All the songs of the Saint
Surpassed any time limit,
As each word is built
Of divinity hidden in it.
...
While chanting, very often,
The Saint had a vision
Of Rama in different pose
Before him, very close.
...
The Saint was born
In the family known
For their inborn aesthetic
In the field of music.

It was the Sanyasi's past curse
Or his destiny's influence
