Hi friends,
Today, let me bring out another gem from the only diamond in the world who has given quotables in every and each line he has penned. There is no verse one can't find, I am sure, something to wonder, to quote, to be proud of. This is from Meghadutam, an unquestioned treaty of Vipralambha Shringar... The best form of love...That is attachment between hearts in separation. A bereaved heart finds no way to meet his beloved and in despair approaches anything that can carry his feelings.. and in one line, that is the last one, how the world is spoken..A truth generations would wonder.. Philosophy of life would ponder... Agree will all asunder...
The Yakshya had his Tanwi, Shyama, Shikhari dashana, pakwa bimbadharoshthi... In distant Alakapuri.... And he, in a cottage in Ramagiri mountain was missing her in his prime time.. that is the rainy season..Separated with an unapproachable distance ..He had no way to relieve his agony and bereaved don't find logic in abnormality of desperate considerations...The hopeless soul did the unbelievable. Approached anything that moved with speed...The moving clouds.. The lover in pain had to relieve his feelings..Heart attack never affects a love lorn...The unfortunate...He can't commit suicide...Because he has to meet her...To cross all hurdles... Only the strongest can love...And suffer for infinity.. yes he can cross the parameter of sanity.. The Yakshya did that.. poured out the heart before the clouds.
This is the creative brain and heart of none other than Kalidasa...The scientist...The artist...The social engineer...The lover...The tortured...The sage... The analyst of hearts....The unique presenter....Commentator par excellence... To me this verse is enough for a research paper..The best.....here you will get the scientific background of cloud formation...The social technique of employing a Messenger to negotiate between love lorns... The reading of psychology behind a move of social behavior... And finally a master craftsman who formed a quote for centuries to come...May be till the humanity survives...
Let's see another best four liner from the greatest...India could boast of..
धूमः ज्योति सलिलमरुतां सन्निपातो क्व मेघः
सन्देशार्थाक्वपटूकरणैः प्राणिभः प्रापणीयाः
इत्यौत्सुक्यादपरिगणयन् गुह्यकं तं संयाचे
याच्न्या मोघाबरमधिगुणे नाधमे लव्धकामाः
Where are the clouds formed of inanimate objects of smoke, the heat, the water and the air and where are the Messengers expert in negotiating love lorns...The hopeless Yakshya made a silly attempt to request such an inanimate object to carry message without proper understanding of facts because he was out of order because of helplessness due to mental tension... One should never approach an unworthy person for help..Because he won't help...If ever he did, your purpose will not be served.. you have to approach an other.. better approach an worthy and virtuous person ..You will have certain dignity if you are denied ....
