Mahabharata


Beautiful like the Moon.	1
Is brave like unto the Lord of the Celestials.	2
In energy … like unto the Sun.	3
Bright eyes Which were like lotus-blossoms.	4
Fixed like a rock.	5
Fleet as wind.	6
Forgiving like unto the Earth herself.	7
Gay as a rising sun.	8
Pure as the white stars sweeping through the sky.	9
Sparkling like lightning on a dusky sky.	10
Straight like a sala-tree.	11
Swiftly, like birds that skim the air.	12
Timid as a youth can be.	13
