Legend Story Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Legend story

It is legend story
But effective and touchy
It is about courtesan and Lord Buddha
The preacher had just put word at

She was beautiful and had fame
From distance people came
To see and praise her
She was really known and favored

The kind had given her special position
She used to visit audience at hall on special occasions
It was her traditional right
But her main was to delight the people

She heard of lord Buddha and fell in love
She blocked the pathway of lord and put proposal for love
Lord said" this flower shall fade away"
What shall be left with you on that day

Lord left place and returned after many years
He was very much eager to hear
About courtesan and enquired
He herself wanted to see and lea the procession of followers

He noticed one aged lady
She was the same with faded beauty
She was unable to walk
Her tongue failed to speak

She went to his fold
And went to whole world
To profess the teachings
of lord Buddha to human beings
