WHY
tears Mother why? I didn't expect from a woman of your piety
One who's praised
for virtues of forbearance and inimitable sobriety
Weep like woman at
parting of noble son following 6Dharmavatar ?
The
banishment of whom was preordained for the sake of 7dushtasamhar.
No
darling boy no! they aren't tears sprouting in heart streaming thro' eyes
They're the pearl drops trickling down by mother's overjoyed placid eyes
Reflecting the inexplicable inner joy, the elemental frame's experiencing
Seeing her noble
son following 8Dharma by his magnanimous self-effacing.
"How
fortunate am I to be the son of a 9Mahasadhvi of impeccable nobility
Elating at
her son's exchanging royalty for exile for the sake of probity
In
contrast to that 10Kaikeyi, for becoming 11Rajamatas wielding power
Exiling Dharma on the strength of forgotten boons got form senile power.
