Spgm 047 - Visiting The Town

(Kovalan kept Kownthi Adigal and Kannagi at a place in Mudhoor. He then went around Madurai City to see important places and came back to them.) MADURAI WOKE UP At the outskirts, there were Lakes filled with water, Flower gardens and fertile fields Full of harvesting crop yields. The birds got up early And made sounds lovely. The grand sun opened the buds Of the lotus o'er the water beds. The undaunted ever victorious king He got up from bed early morning. With him the Madurai City woke up, The day's challenges to take up. THE MORNING DRUMS SOUNDED The temple conches sounded, And the drums-beats echoed, To indicate the arrival of the sun, As usual, early in the morn. These sounds reverberated on the sky, From the temples of Shiva with His third eye, Of Thirumal with His flag Garuda flying high, Of Balaraman with His victory-plough. Of Murugan with His cock bird flag And of the temple of the royal king, Like a morning alarm to wake up The sleeping city they sounded up. UNDER YOUR SAFE CUSTODY "Kownthi Adigal was in meditation. Kovalan praised for her dedication, And told, "My life suffer degradation, As I'm now in a state of deprivation." "Thru' forests to a land unknown, Kannagi had to walk on sharp stones. I've fallen down to this disgrace, But I pray now for your grace." "I'll go and explain my position, To get rich traders' compassion. Till I search for an accommodation. Can you give her you protection? " DON'T WORRY. GO AHEAD. Kownthi Adigal replied, "This is the truth implied, When some past deeds are bad, The present period turns sad." "Strong is the hand of fate. Never has it failed to act. So, give up your hate For your awful state." "Do the reckless men Care and tend to listen To all the advices given By the elderly wise men? " "When their bad deeds burn Their fingers in turn, They begin to mourn, And a lesson they learn." "A wise learned person Never fails in his action. The fate may be a reason But he knows it as one." "The pinching pains of death, Don't they occur after every birth? The pain how a mother bears When a child she delivers? " "The Cupid's arrow shot Does it not make one hot? So also a husband to mourn, When leaving his wife alone." "For an avowed single person, A solitary path having chosen, He never has this kind of pain Nor he's affected by anyone." "A madman after women, And a voracious glutton, Both ends in severe pain, Not in an endless gain." "This kind of untold misery Forward the dead past carry As one's mental torture, To the present and future." "To the forest he left. Sita, his wife he lost. For this he did worry. This is Lord Rama's story." ."To the forest he left. Damayanthi, his wife he lost. For this he had to worry. This is King Nala's Story." "But you aren't like them, As your wife like a gem, She's so attached to you, That she's always with you." "At Madurai find a place To live there with all grace. Come back soon with success And make good all the losses."
