2014-11-10 13 Dailymotion

'You are the soothing shelter <br />for those who are afflicted by heat <br />and distressed internally. <br />Therefore, O Dear Cloud ! <br />please convey my message <br />to my beloved wife, <br />as I've been separated from her <br />by anger of King Kubera. <br />You have to go to Alakā city, <br />the dwelling of the lord of yakshas, <br />where great citadels look fair and bright <br />with the charming moon-rays <br />spreading from the crest of God Hara <br />who resides there in the outer garden. <br />* <br />On the lap of Kailā sa Mountain <br />appears the city Alakā -purī , <br />just like a beloved maiden <br />on the lap of her lover. <br />Her beautiful saree <br />in the form of Gań gā 's stream <br />has slipped down alluringly. <br />Her fair lovely face <br />is the seven-storeyed mansion. <br />As a maiden possesses braids of hairs <br />designed with pearl-strings. <br />Alakā , on her head, bears <br />the clusters of clouds <br />that shower drops of water <br />in thy rainy season. <br />Seeing all such features, <br />O Ye wandering freely ! <br />it's not that you'll not recognize the city.' <br /> <br />* * <br />(Purva-Megha, Verses 7 and 66) <br />* <br />(Translated from Kalidasa’s Sanskrit Kavya “Meghadutam”) <br />= = = = =<br /><br />Harekrishna Meher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/alak-257-city-in-meghaduta/
