Vasava – An untold story 6/Many
The Victory Day Celebrations
After bowing before the statues
Of her favorite Goddess Saraswati* and of Lord Rama*
She with her musicians started her singing and dancing,
And kept on doing so, till the Sun rays gently kissed her face
In the early morning hours of the next day
But on the day of Utsava, Vasava wanted to give
The best of her before the guest King Udayan of Ujjain*
Who was visiting the kingdom of Magadh,
On the special invitation of his King friend Suyodhan
The beautiful Court of King Suyodhan,
Was glittering with lights shining in every corner and rows
The stage was ready to hear and to feel the touch
Of the melodies and dance performance of the beauty Vasava
Guests both wealthiest and the general,
Invited by the King of Magadh had come well in time
On this splendid yearly occasion which always lingers
In the memories of its spectators,
Through out the entire year
While seeing her performances, the rich used to throw lavishly
On their dream queen Vasava,
Valuables and most precious gifts of gems and jewelries,
While watching their favorite Vasava or
Hearing her singing melodies, which used to thrills their hearts
Rest of the Year Vasava used to perform,
Her dances and melodies only at her own Palatial place
Without distinguishing between the rich or the poor
As many of her favorite artist were those
Who were musicians, singers, writers, poet or dance lovers
Even King Suyodhan became a praiser of her unique character
Though in the beginning he too wanted to enjoy
The charms of her matchless youth, her teen age
And the wine of her intoxicating beauty, but coming close
To Vasava, he realized that she can not be persuaded for lust
