Mb077. Veda Vyasa Gives Vision To Sanjaya Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

MAHABHARATA

The war upset Dhritarashtra.
At this hour, he was with Sanjaya.
Vedavyasa came to console him.
Advices few, the sage gave him.

"I'm grieved at the thought,
Between brothers why this fight?
As a blind man what can I do?
My sons care not me, it's true."

The sage said, "Don't worry.
I understand your words of cry.
Let me bless you with the vision,
So you can see any war operation."

"How to bear this carnage?
For this blindness all my age
At least now, blessed I feel,
To see not any ghastly spectacle."

The Sage understood by now,
The king was frustrated how?
To Sanjay he gave the power,
To mentally travel wherever.

"He'll have such a vision,
To see all those happen,
He can narrate to the king,
That's seen by him, everything."

"He can read other's mind
What's hidden there to find.
He can go from one place,
As he likes, to any other place."

"No weapon can hurt him.
He won't feel wearisome.
Invisible he'll be to any other.
He shall be your war reporter."

This boon helped the king,
Indirectly to know everything.
Everyday what was happening,
Sanjay reported to the king.
