T.S.Eliot like the English pundit
Chanting the shantih mantras
And sprinkling water with a mango leaf
From his water pot over the heads
With Om shantih shantih shantih.
Datta, dayadhvam, damayata (Give, sympathise, control)
Shantih shantih shantih.
Is shantih for the dead souls like the penance
Of the Sagar sons by King Bhagirath?
Is Eliot praying for a vegetation
And the resurrection of a world order?
