The Purple Mountain Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Far away, to the north of Mount Sumeru,
there is a most magnificent purple mountain
of many majestic peak of gold, four of which
were so lovely, that my soul was enraptured.

On each stood one spreading tree,
a banyan, a pipala,
a pakara, and a mango.

On the top of the mountain sparkled
a beautiful lake, with jewelled flights
of steps, which it was a delight to behold.

Itswater was cool, limpid and sweet,
its lotuses abundant
And many coloured, flocks of swans
Uttered the melodious notes
and bees softly murmured.

On the splendid mountain dwelt that bird
(Kakabhushundi) indestructible aeon after aeon.
