Kl24. Teacher's Son Rescued Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

At the request of their own parents,
With the consent of their foster parents,
At the City Mathura Krishna stayed,
Though, for his return, Gopis prayed.

Krishna was devoted to His teacher,
Held him high more as a preacher,
In return for what He learnt from him,
He offered to give any award to him.

The teacher and his wife,
Prayed Him for their son's life,
Who, in the ocean, was drowned,
And his body was never found.

Krishna ordered the ocean
For his son's return.
It denied having taken,
But told, he was with a demon.

Conch shell was its shape,
It remained in the water deep,
By name Pancajana, a Demon,
Swallowed the teacher's son.

He tore the belly of the demon,
There He couldn't find his son,
From the dead, took the conch shell
And direct went to the hell.

He blew the conch shell,
To order from the hell,
Yamaraj, the God of Death,
To return the son to the earth.

Yamaraj traced him then,
And returned his son.
The teacher got back his son,
This gift from Him he won.

Yes, what was impossible,
For Krishna it was possible!
None could defy His authority,
Or challenge His superiority!
