Vasava - An Untold Story 5/Many

Vasava An untold story Part 05/Many The King and the common man, Both used to enjoy her dance and songs together And the rich with pleasure use to bestowed on her, Their huge fabulous wealth Which includes their money, ornaments, Gold and gems or their costly belongings But she never accepted anything from those, who were art and music lovers, but were poor Some of her richest fans from nearby Kashi* Often offer her handspun and handworked silk Sarees While some other use to throw before her, The pearl or gem studded gold necklaces There were those also, who wanted to donate Their entire wealth, property and money to Vasava Only to see a close look of her charming face And her beautiful dancing and thrilling legs Even her palatial servants and maid’s Used to get fabulous gifts from renowned visitors When Vasava was busy in performing her weekly dances Or was giving her melody singing shows And her Palace staff considered themselves, So proud to be working for lady Vasava Who was the darling queen of everyone’s heart, Residing in the famous city of Patilputra The uniqueness of the dancer Vasava This unique worshiper of dance, music and art, Was preserving a rare beauty within herself Devoting her life, for the cause of promoting dance And other forms of music and Arts While forgetting completely and eliminating her passions And lust from her mind and heart Thus generating a serene natural youth, Which brought spark like beauty coming out from her No one had ever touched and tasted, The intoxicating wine of her sparklingly refreshing youth She had rejected the attempts of many rich And wealthy mans, rulers and even of the Kings Who wanted to win her by offering her lofty gifts And temptations of their mighty kingdoms Vasava never even thought to compromise, Such was the beauty of her undaunted character The Victory Day Celebrations Once in a year on Vijayadesmi Day* which generally falls, In the month of October every year Vasava came to give her yearly performances, In the court celebrations of King Subodhan Ravindra to continue in 6 08th March 2010 * Vijayadesmi Day. Rama destroyed Ravana on this day and hence it is celebrated as the day of victory * Kashi . old name of Varanasi
