NYAYA ON FOURS

Dong...Dong...Dong...²Ambaah! peals of pitiful cries took people by shock 
The lowing being queer and untimely, it jolted everyone in or out on walk 
But one thing they knew-someone was at ³Dharmaghanta & pulling chain 
Hung visibly at palace gate to render Justice to the wronged, as means fine.

Leaving the work done, or half-done, all directed steps to palace balcony 
To greet ⁴Manuneethi Mannan adorning ⁵Dharmapeetha on palace balcony 
And availing the grand spectacle of Nyaya set in motion in manner unique, 
The King having come's seeing the cow pleading for Nyaya in way unique.

It was a sight pathetic to see the cow tugging chain holding it between teeth And lowing piteously by swaying its head restlessly unable even to breathe At the instance of King, an officer nearing the cow brought it under control Despite leaving the chain, it stopped not lowing, but under perfect control.
