Aniruddha Pathak Poet Rhyme

Three things that thrilled my heart

I thought and thought. In all the world
Three things touched me, my heart captured:
Sugarcane derivates,
What poet’s pen creates,
And lithe limbs of a lass
That stir, in breeze as grass.

Translation |24.10.2024| sweet, poems, lissom lass  

Poet’s note: Sanskrit has thousands of verses of wisdom called Subhashhitam. The poet here says, ‘I thought and thought and three things touched inner precincts of my heart: sweets made from sugarcane, penmanship of poets, and a lissom lass’ lithe figure’.  The transliteration of the Sanskrit verse follows:

Sanchintya sanchintya jagat samastam, 
trayah padaarthaa hridayam pravishhtaah |
Ikshho vikaaraah kritayah kaveenaam, 
mugdha-anganaayaa anga tarangitaani ||
