The God Prefers The Stones Thrown By The Good-Natured Devotee! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The God Prefers The Stones Thrown By The Good-Natured Devotee!



O’ girl with beautiful forehead!
Harsh words of people
…..with a heart of no vices are pleasant,
The pleasing words of others
…..are considered harmful – for the God,
He prefers the stones thrown by
…..Saakkiya Naayanaar – the good-natured devotee,
than the flowered arrows
…..aimed with the sugarcane bow by the God of love!
