Incineration of Love God Madan (Cupid) 25
Originally written in Hindi by my late father Dr. Amar Nath Kapoor
1899 to 1994. The work was written in Hindi somewhere around 1965-70.

Editing and English version by Ravindra K Kapoor.

Hindi Title  ‘Madan Dahan’ 25


He robbed the auspicious honor,
Of so many innocent women,
His deeds are destroying
His very existence now.

Rati* said he performed his duty,
Given by his creator, Maya,
In performing of which, he,
Is being burnt by you, O dear Lord.

He was only fulfilling the wishes of Maya,
And is being punished for that,
He only performed his given task,
Like a loyal servant, O dear Lord.

Andrea Dietrich May 27, 2012 at 5:33 PM I found this very interesting, that it was said he was only performing what had been required of him. The same might be said of the devil!!!
