An Assurance To Womankind Poem by Ravikumar C.P.

Original Kannada Poem: D. Vijaya
Translation: C.P. Ravikumar

Rest assured and have no fear.
So long as you do not lift your head,
you will find men all around you,
guarding

If a Ravana was to abduct you
or a Dushyasana was to pull your robe,
there are many a Rama and Krishna around
who will shroud you with cloth infinitely long,
and pass you through the test of fire,
and make it all nice and flawless and sound.
