How a mountain sings

Himalaya leads The glorious hymn with all his whispering reeds

Bleeding pines


There the fierce elephant wounds the scented bough
To ease the torment of his burning brow;
And bleeding pines their odorous gum distil
To breathe rare fragrance o'er the sacred hill.

Good and Great


And, like the night-bird, spreads the brooding wing
Safe in the shelter of the mountain-king,
Unscorned, uninjured; for the good and great
Spurn not the suppliant for his lowly state.

Why should her steps?her homeward steps?be slow?


It is that her slender ankles scarce can bear
The weight of beauty that impedes her there;
Each rounded limb, and all her peerless charms,
That broad full bosom, those voluptuous arms.

There, when the nymphs, within the cave's recess,
In modest fear their gentle limbs undress,
Thick clouds descending yield a friendly screen,
And blushing beauty bares her breast unseen.

With pearly dewdrops Gang� loads the gale
That waves the dark pines towering o'er the vale,
And breathes in welcome freshness o'er the face
Of wearied hunters when they quit the chase.

Kumara Sambhavam, Nanne Chodudu, Poem 4: Praise to Lord Vishnu

To the Sauntered English Reader

*******************************

Beauty of these Telugu poems of adjoining centuries (10th to 17th), lies in their construction, usually not in their meaning. There are exceptions.

I put a brief meaning in Engish towards the end.

However, if you know how to read nominal Telugu, this like hundreds of such of this era, is a treat!
