Kl47. The Deliverance Of Sisupala Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

KRISHNA LEELA

Happy became Yudhisthira,
O'er the death of Jarasandha
He admired Krishna's superiority,
In His every field of activity.

"Unlimited you're, we know,
Your mercy you ever show,
Oh Krishna, You can play
Any role whatever be it may! "

"Royal kings, so we think,
But in our ego, we all sink,
Rulers of this world, may be we,
But our heart is poor, we do see."

"For mercy You choose none,
But shower it on everyone
Unabated, just like the rain
That pours all o'er, prefers none."

O'er the active role of Krishna,
This way praised Yudhisthira
Of the exalted position of the Lord,
Who was, in fact, the Supreme God.

None was left in the country,
The Citizens, each and every,
All those were in the assembly,
To watch the sacrifice faithfully.

All the Sages from the wood,
All the Kings of the world,
All the Brahmins learned,
They were present in the field.

What a scene to see it was,
To participate in that sacrifice,
All the demigods of the Heaven,
They were present on that occasion.

A question came at the start,
O'er the worship on their part,
Who was the Supreme one to prefer?
Who was to be given their first offer?

Sahadeva was sure and bold,
At once he stood and told
That Lord Krishna was the best,
Who was on the top of every test.

While everyone there agreed,
Sisupala, the king full of greed,
Shouted at the top of his voice,
That they made a wrong choice.

He held Krishna a bitter enemy,
Not for one reason, but many
The main one, He stole Rukmini,
Whom, he wished to marry.

"You're but a cowherd,
Also you're a coward,
You follow no Vedic rules,
Nor the regulative principles."

"From Mathura away You ran,
And took shelter in the ocean.
You're more than a dacoit,
To harass everyone You fight."

Sisupala went crazy and violent,
But the Lord remained silent,
While the nobles, who were upset,
From the assembly walked out.

All the Kings took their swords,
To speak they found no words,
But a lead then Krishna took up,
To stall a fight that came up.

The Lord took up His disc,
He wanted to take no risk.
The sharp edge of the blade
Did its job and severed his head.

Thus Sisupala's life came to an end,
But still Krishna was so kind
That sent back to Heaven his soul, .
For any one, it was the ultimate goal.
