Water :The Divine Marvel
The little divine droplets of water bedeck
The shoots and leaves, all around spread
Over the tract and the rough rocky bed ,
As the soft seemly drizzles at the day-break
Infuse an enlivening pleasure into the air ;
The shiny pearls and the lustre- pendent ,
Though for a short spell and moment ,
Enchant the vision beyond all fancy flair ;
Some hours past, the reviving cool breeze
Brings forth the tidings of fresh ,new life
To all the spread over fauna- flora rife ;
And booming twitters hail from the abiding trees.
Bhagirath stood for years many ,and long
In ascetic penance, for the sacred flow ,
That he might redeem for ever, his kin-row :
Souls, aged, from the infinitely cursed wrong ,
And regain the ethical poise on the whole ;
To salvage and deliver She did descend ;
With ablutions, absolve them and mend :
Purge, save , recharge and liberate the soul ;
Oh! the holy spell of the sacred waters
Which aye, generate , protect and restore ,
And beyond the infinite ages carry, far more ,
The spirit and essence of throb in splatters .
Sprinkles and droplets dripped ,bring back
Even the morbid ones from the mortal way ,
That the vain soul might, if not longer stay,
And seek the path of solace from the rack ;
Wrathful pours and the scaring thunder
Are but the varied pitched dissent punitive;
No trial ordeal of the primeval and primitive
Or of erudition of wonder ; just tear asunder !
The dancing cascades , springs or the deluge
Voicing and enacting the vivacious glamour ,
Depict the be -all and end- all of all clamour ,
Of odd disasters that ensue misuse of refuge !

"She " refers to the River Ganga and Bhagirath of ikshwaku lineage says the lengend brought the river down to the earth to save the souls of his forefathers from condemnation.
