Incineration of Love God Madan Cupid 26

Incineration of Love God Madan (Cupid) 26

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’ 26

Madan* is becoming a naught,
Losing his very existence,
Penance is also vanishing,
Because of your anger, Lord.

Think over the results, O Lord,
Which the anger would produce,
By destroying his very existence,
In the great fire of curse.

How the race of all creatures,
Will survive after Cupid's destruction,
Entire creation will disappear,
If Cupid is burnt alive, O dear Lord.

Poet Destroyer A May 17, 2012 at 4:07 PM Hello, Ravindra! How are you this wonderful day? The heat keeps getting hotter with a vengeance ... the burning of his existence is no way to dispose his anger of destruction. I think in the long run all the incineration being ignited by Cupid, will furnace into a positive wave of energy and love.. Hopefully the continued story will rekindle it self.
