Chereads / Sundara Kānda: Hanuman's Odyssey / Chapter 23 - Guards that Pander

Chapter 23 - Guards that Pander

To see Ravan off the grove

Followed suit then guards all there.

At the bidding of their king

Trooped they all back to Seetha.

Felt they disgust for Seetha

That she rubbished Ravan thus.

Sang they praises of Ravan

Sense they tried to put in her.

In time lost a guard temper

And then spoke to Seetha thus:

Great grandad of king Ravan

Is none other than Lord Brahma.

Ravan's father Visravas

Was the son of Pulasthyu.

Looks thy wits have gone astray

To snub Brahma's great grandson.

To give Seetha more of lead

Harijata took the baton then.

Don't thee know that Ravan's might

Made all demigods turn their backs?

To make Ravan thine own man

Wonder how thou take so long?

To entice Seetha for their Lord

Praised then Praghasa thus Ravan:

Loves no less his queen Ravan

Looks whose make thee pale even

That's why it's all seem so strange

That our king should take to thee.

Harem his filled to the brim

With beauties of rarest kind

Who would rival thee no less.

Taunting Seetha as her wont

Took-off then an amorous one.

Dames all die to climb his bed

Craves he but to bed with thee

Seem thou fail to well perceive

What's it like his lovemaking?

Sun said another in same vein

Looks so pale at Ravan's glow.

Why thou fail to bask thyself

In the embrace of such man?

At thy feet is king of kings

Well be thou in Ravan's bed

Why thee opt for then deathbed.
