Poem
The Boatman’s Song 24/Many The Princess was briefing the Boatman about the guards Of her Uncle and she continued .. There are two hundred soldiers, in side the fort and Palace [repeated line from 21/..] And rest outside the fort, who live in the army camps Scattered here and there, Apart from main fighters, who have gone on a battle Evoked by a notorious neighbor, That traitor keeps always nearly twenty persons around his chamber And some around King’s chamber, to keep a watch so that no one can meet the King As he fears that some loyal army men, may go with the King And his silent designs may get foiled and his efforts may go in vain Especially when the Chief of Army has gone for a battle and is quite away Now, it is up to you to make the next strategy To finish all the vicious men and their chief To protect my father and this Kingdom I will see you now, O my dear love, Around midnight in my mother’s chamber She showed the boatman the secret door, leading to the Chamber of her Mother the Queen The Princess left the boatman and his small army of men And very silently she vanished from the Temple, Before anyone could have noticed anything The Boatman waited for the midnight to come And took the same route, as was shown by his love the Princess He reached the chamber of the Queen along with his ten men And found the Princess was waiting for him, with her mother the Queen She introduced him to her mother and briefed That he has come to help her to get rid of, The treacheries of that man, whom I call my Uncle The Queen spoke very slowly, “My dear Youngman, I see only darkness all around me and every where, This is a trial of your sincerity and bravery, After meeting you I can say that you will Come out as a Savior, on whom, the King and The Kingdom would be proud of” Chandragupta* greeted the Queen of Malla* and said, “You keep trust on me and on your daughter’s courage By tomorrow only, you will find a complete elimination Of your enemies” “I will see you next only tomorrow morning, O mother like Queen And now would like to take leave with my team, Without wasting even a moment’s time” Ravindra to continue on 25/…………..
