MARANAM DHRUVAM

Accepting the God's decision with equanimity better return to normalcy 
Lest grief excessive saps life and unhinges mind leading to lunacy 
Be contented with what's given graciously by that All-Knowing God 
Who alone knows what's good for you and thy son, whose life's marred.

"No 5Bhagawan no, he's the only issue born after years of austere 6vratas 
Like dipping in rivers, visiting shrines and giving gifts during vratas 
If he doesn't live, all of us in the home die one by one in succession 
I'm sure thy benignity bestows life to the dead and ensures resurrection'.

Well then, I'll provide if you bring to me a fistful of mustard seeds, 
From any house that's not witnessed so far death of any of its inmate 
I'm sure with the magical powers of those divinised mustard seeds 
Life to your son can be given; get thee gone and bring them post-haste'.

Anon the weeping woman leapt out and went in quest of mustard seeds Standing at gate begged, "please give me a fistful of mustard seeds 
If the icey hand of death hasn't snatched any member of your family 
They bless my son life, and you'll be blessed by gods and my family'.

5. the Almighty God .... 
6. austerities ....
