Spontaneous is the flow of River <br />to mingle with Sea, her own lover. <br />She firmly crosses pass and rock <br />that appear on the way to block. <br /> <br />With Sea, when she enjoys union, <br />her all previous pains plunge into oblivion. <br />Between the lives of the two thence <br />really remains not a jot of difference. <br /> <br />Perchance piercing up in the mid, <br />any huge mound of sands there <br />if raises high <br />and severs the hearts of the loving pair, <br />River cannot die. <br />Burthen of her life she bears indeed <br />by expanding own heart to take <br />the shape of a large lake. <br />** <br />One thing more I like to tell, <br />Be united with mind and hasten to dwell <br />in the lake of heart where bliss sublime, <br />you all will sportively enjoy for endless time. <br /> <br />There abides my life-mate <br />new Lotus-maiden in full efflorescence. <br />Ever-scintillating and never-set <br />remains the Sun of reminiscence. <br /> <br />(Tapasvini, Canto-II, III) <br /> <br />[Translated from Gangadhara Meher’s Oriya epic-poem ‘Tapasvini’]<br /><br />Harekrishna Meher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/conjugal-love-of-sita-and-rama/
