ASADRISA MANAVATHA

Born are here on this ¹⁸Jambudvipa, many a matchless ¹⁹Dana Karna, who Gifted away inseperables by peeling off skin on principle of humanism Born are here on this ²⁰Aryavrata, many a peerlss ²¹Jeemuthavahan, who Offered whole mass of body to ²²Garuda, melted at its relentless animalism

Hark ! these Mahapurushas and their monumental acts of unique sacrifice Wiped out the streaming tears of unfortunate, meriting such sacrifice And illumined the ill-fated that in turn illumed the whole world So turned immortals and stand as beacon lights to guide human world 

Their regard for justice, devotion to duty, and love of follow men Though smothered them with praises and titles both by gods and men The joy they brought, or peace ushered in barely confined to only some Despite demonstration of their virtue was spectacularly awe-some.
