Be Hold! Poem by Sivashanmugam Shanmugam

Behold! Birds clanged; whitish conch
At the abode of eagle's king is blaring;
Won't thou listen? Lassie arise!
Poison, He sucked from devil’s breast
Kicked deftly the treacherous cart, to a shatter
On the serpent alighted in ocean had set sleeping;
Kept this seed in mind, monks and yogis
Arise gently and Hari they mumble;
This chant pierces the mind as a rumble;
Awakens and enthuses like a roar to assemble
Listen and consider our damsel.
