NESCIENCE OF SCIENCE

Can you tell me my dear state-owned scientist, Nuclear physicist and world science protagonist, The weight of ³Vamana's foot that sent ⁴Bali to nether world, To rule there screened from the green - eyed monster of this world?

Or the strength of ⁵Narasimha's mighty piercing hands that curled To draw out that demon's entrails to keeping ⁶Dharmadhwaja unfurled? Or the power of that little taught left finger of ⁷Gokulatn's boy  That lifted the ⁸Govardhan mount for his cow-herd's safety and joy?

Or the velocity of ⁹Vishnu's legs that surpassed the runner fastest,  At ¹⁰Gajendra's crying SOS, when caught by the alligator cruelest? Or the thrust of ¹¹Siva's toe on ¹²Ravana's lifting the ¹³Kailas mount, That crushed the egoist's ebulliant arrogance rising like fount ?
