Coveted was Kunti by gods five,
Draupadi by Kunti's five sons naïve,
As women of virtue
Both still held with rare hue—
Fame at fortune's door seems to arrive.

I would like to translate this poem
Dear sir, you have cutely delineated this limerick bringing the theme from Mahabharat....Kunti and Draupadi. Nice work.
There has been a superstition in India following which no one reads this Epic fully. Perhaps because the cousins fought a Mahabharata war. But I have read it fully, all the hundred thousand verses, and poetically translated selected two thousand of them. It's a beautiful piece of creative work dear to my heart, labour of love, and feel it can be called the Fifth Veda. Thanks.
