Nothing'll be denied, as I promised to give anything on any
occasion.
"Forgive my Lord" somayaji began, "to meeting with an

fixed solemnisation
Of my son's wedding this noon, and I in hurry arranged all for
function
But that of fuel, which unfortunately adding fuel to my
compunction."
"What ! a scholar for your stature noted for enviable mellowed
wisdom
Should grieve over that trifle - fuel that too living in Karna's
Kingdom
Never'll despair rise its ugly head anytime to mar any one's good
deed
Sure, your need'll be met with, forget not I'm friend to all in
need".
"How
my Lord how? when this unexpected rain left nothing anywhere dry
Every bird, beast and man is dripping despite using might to be dry
It's only my misfortune that this rain storm descended at this hour
Who can, when 10Rajaraja too refused help at this hour
with all Power".
