Mmgl Part 005-002 - The Praise For Buddha Dharma Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

"Buddha dharma, he taught us.
A god he was for all of us.
He had, by nature, good qualities.
Faultless and truthful he was."

"The worldly discipline bound,
A saintly life for ‘self' he found.
For himself he never lived.
For others welfare he strived."

"To remove unhappiness
And to restore happiness
This was his sole aim.
For this purpose he came."

"He deserves all the praises,
In this period of our crisis,
I can't say more anything.
I pray, long live, oh king."

THE WILL OF UDAYAKUMARAN

Udayakumaran spoke:

"I learnt from what you said,
Your earlier life period,
But I shall get Manimegalai
With the help of Chitrapathi."

Thus he expressed his will
His eyes were on her still.
Tired, he left the place.
Defeat he could never face.

LET MY HEART GO WRONG

Manimegalai came out and said:

"He blamed that I've no chastity,
Or any kind of modesty,
Or for my safety marry a man.
But I'm a body-seller woman."

"Holding this view he wants me.
His words didn't at all affect me,
But my heart for him still went how?
Is it the nature's work for love? "

"If it's so, let its strength vanish.
I'm not for this undesirable wish."
This way Manimegalai expressed
While Sudamadhi stood distressed.

GODDESS MANIMEGALA

To witness Indran Festival,
Manimegala came as a girl.
She visited the marble center,
And went round Buddha's altar.

WORSHIPED THE ALTAR

The girl praised:

"You're the truth and purity!
You've the virtuous quality!
In family tradition, high you're!
For crimes, you're not for! "

"You hate completely anger.
First of all, you're the knower.
Against Cupid, you're the winner.
Happiness to all, you're the giver."

"Bad habits you've never.
To praise your feet forever,
Thousands of tongues I need."
This way the girl prayed.

THE BEAUTIFUL PUGAR

The Pugar Town as a girl,
For fame she played a major role.
She was bedecked with flowers.
And her moats fed by the rivers.

Like beads jewel she had forts.
Her shoulders were like tall gates.
Two temples like her breasts.
A palace as her face features.

THE DISEASE OF THE EVENING

The rising sun from the east,
After the midday, moved to the west,
Thus casting its evening light,
All over Pugar and made it bright."

While the lotus flower closed,
The female swan it enclosed.
But the male swan tore it,
And from the prison rescued it

Both the swans then went aloof,
They sat o'er the coconut leaf.
About the night, the female swan
It made a mention to the male one.

From that swans inhabited jungle,
The cows in groups and single,
They ran towards the cowshed,
Thinking of their calves to be fed.

The evening fire for sacrifices,
It started in Brahmins' houses.
The women of these houses,
They lighted the oil lamps.

The sound of yazh and flute
It made the listeners mute.
The Pugar's late evening felt,
For the missing sunlight.

Just like a soldier's wife,
Who lost her husband's life
Pugar Town missed her sunlight.
While darkness came as a night.
