Perumaal 103-108
103 Child divine Thine venture where killed Kaaliya
Butter Thine thievery where melted from houses
Mighty mouth Thine Yashoda where visioned creation whole
Rukmani, Sathyabhama where with Thee gracing
To Thou abode that of Gokulam
That fondles in pasuram Perialvar
Hey Navamohanakrishna, vision, I surrender
104 Empire Thine where reigned righteous
Escaping poisoned wherefrom Mewar Meera surrendered
Benevolent in Thine grace where Meera merged
Where with Srilakshmi, Rukmani Thee favouring
To Thou abode that of Thirudwarakai
That clothed where Thine mercy Draupati
Hey Kalyananarayana, vision I surrender
105 His dense penance where Garuda desired Thine Narasimha
So did Thee where with nine allocations
Split meaningful where for nine Narasimhas
Amritavalli, Senjulakshmi where with Thee bestowing

Alankar (Decor) -17
Planning Of A Housewife
1
I plan this way that way, no way it works
Jumbled my chores a waste confuse undone
Rushing it starts a day berserk just quirks
No day perfect as wished nothing well done
I am worried for I am not perfect
So new I plan with sense a time-table
Expenditure, worktime well schemed just right
Refreshed my life revised I feel able
Abiding by my own rules I am brisk
Running with the clock restless well all done
But then..restless running now stirs to frisk
Fatigued I feel so much senseless my run
So I rest, I muse why my plans just break
I learn, need rest then and then to betake

Aurobindo 190 Savitri Book 12
An appreciation on Savitri-
Book Twelve: Epilogue
The Return to Earth
Words within inverted commas are Aurobindo's
So was Satyavan there alive awakened
'Then one spoke there who seemed a priest and sage:
'O woman soul, what light, what power revealed,
Working the rapid marvels of this day,
Opens for us by thee a happier age? '
'They claimed for their deep childlike motherhood
The life of all these souls to be her life,
Then falling veiled the light.'
'Low she replied, 'Awakened to the meaning of my heart
That to feel love and oneness is to live
And this the magic of our golden change,
Is all the truth I know or seek, O sage.'
'Wondering at her and her too luminous words
Westward they turned in the fast-gathering night.'

On Adisankara's Mathrupanchakam
Nor can Thee be exempted o'saint
Renounced mind of heart renounce can not
Begotten flesh and blood thine lament
Despite knowing Thee thou mother transcient
Cathartic thine feelings as thou mother's
Yelling out in labour-pain for the gods
Loaded soul thine evacuant of truths
Ineffectual plies of gratefulness
Diligently reciprocated in prostrations
Denudes thee thou saintly fame
Attired of thou mother's cajoling frame
Outbursting thou mother's raising pain
A sacred fetus cradled towards saintly fame
And thou renounced robes do acclaim
An appraisal elegiacally of thou mother afflame
Hey Guru,
Even Goddess supreme evenout can not be

AdiSankara
Luminous on the snowy Himalaya
The effulgence of Kaladi Kerala
The beacon light up there spirited
From south of Bharath enlightened
Bestowed the blest Sivaguru and Aryamba
Lord siva born to them, great Sankara
Not an ordinary child but divine
Did he younger resort to be a sanyasin
Would a mother consent? Aryamba didn't
Yet she soon couldn't but consent
Destiny, a crocodile to Sankara threw a life-threat
Relieved him demanding he be an ascetic asset
Thence Aryamba let Sankara renounce, go yonder
Was she then mollified to be attened to later
Set out Sankara for an accomplished guru atlast
For he in search of an ascetic tryst
