15. Bereaved
It was my suggestion, well taken
That Devabrata be anointed Crown Prince;
Entire nation woke up in a festive mood
But King was, for sure, the happiest.
To the utter astonishment of all
Devabrata refused the throne.
Only when king pursued
Did he reveal the story
Of the throne he had relinquished
The vow to celibacy he had made,
The incident I had forgotten long,
And he had disclosed to none.
The news was a shock so rude
From which the king never recovered.
And he left for his heavenly abode
Just in a matter of days.
