Nalan 2.12 Hunter Was Burnt

A Hunter Saw A hunter hunting nearby, Heard Dhamayanthi’s cry. He rushed to the spot And saw her plight. In fear she cried “Oh you’re great! I’m now caught In python’s mouth, And am close to death.” “I’m under your shelter. Save me from this danger. My life is in your hand. And under your command.” The Hunter rescued her Just like Chandran Swarki Saved many from Kali, The hunter pulled her And from python saved her. Is there any reward? She thanked and said, “My life, you’ve saved. Is there any reward For the help of this kind? ” Come with me He fell for her beauty, And called her, “Oh pretty, With me, you can come.” She had what a bad time. Ran away with fear Seeing his bad intention, Away she tried to run. On the way, her tears Flowed like rivers. Her long hairs got stuck up, In bushes, when running up, Like falling from frying pan To fire, she felt and ran. He was burnt into ash Like a running deer, Before a chasing tiger, She ran, but became tired And at some stage, stopped. She saw the hunter With all her anger, And he was then burnt Into ashes that moment. Regret for bad days The desert was full of heat. In a shady corner, she sat Thought of her husband Who pushed her to this end. She thought of her old days When, in many ways, Happy and gay she was, But now fell in distress.
