Part.2

When Sati entered the sacrificial hall
It was crowded with gods and angels
And the sages divine chanting hymns
Were pouring out libations into flames
As the patriarch was watching them all.
Vessels of gold and jewels shining like
Moons and stars were there on one side
She saw her sisters and brothers-in-laws
In golden silks, nudging each other after
Looking at her, also heard their snigger
She ran to the place where her parents
Sat and prostrated her self at their feet
Daksha turned, opened his eyes wide
And hissed, “You shame-less girl who
Invited you here.” As his thought went
Out to Siva, his face grew red with anger
Volleys of abuses he poured out from
The depths of hatred within him. He did
Continue to rail absent Siva, spitting out
Insult after insult. Sati could not bear to
Hear abuses, closed her ears, exclaimed
“Siva, Siva” and then she decided to end
Her body as Daksha’s daughter, sat down
In yoga, controlled her breath invoked fire
And immolated her self in flames of yoga
As Daksha stood horrified to see the flames
Engulf her body while her mother screamed
And began to sob wildly, the sages trembled
People stood dazed, and the ceremony ceased.
Cosmic bull Nandi rushed towards the corpse
Shaking his horns, called the earth and heaven
To bear witness, he cursed, “Inhuman Daksha
Thy sin shall not go unpunished.’ For a minute
He stood near the corpse with silent tears and
Rushed to Kailas to report the ghastly incident,
As Sati’s maids followed him. Seeing the Lord
In meditation, Nandi in a mournful voice cried
“Oh Lord, Sati is dead” Siva woke up from his
Trance of yoga, was shocked to learn what was
Happened, then struck by grief cried out Lord
“Oh Sati, dear Sati, gentle Sati, O my beloved
What have you done? How could you desert me?”
Slowly as he paced up and down, suddenly his
Sorrow gave room to fiery anger his pale face
Became red and his eyes were burning coals
Restlessly he jumped hither and thither with
Wild strides, dug his hand into matted locks
He drew out a single strand of hair and hit it
On a rock, by its impact leapt up volcanoes, as
Those flames converged there a being took shape
Out of burning fury his face red and the fires of
Wrath leaped out of every pore of his mighty body
He wielded a blazing sword and innumerable weapons
In his several arms and then Nandi fell on his knees
Recognized the new giant as Bhadra the embodiment
Of Siva’s anger and there several demons sprang up
From those burning fires who resembled Bhadra yet
They were smaller to him but their number multiplied
Every second. Leading his army Bhadra cried out
“Vengeance, blood, death, destruction, let’s rush”
With speed of lightening He with his fiery demons
Reached the cursed spot, and savagely set to work
Wrecking, burning, destroying each thing they saw
In that huge sacrificial hall of Daksha, the patriarch!

I have never quite been able to write such an epic work as you have started here. I guess my mind just doesnt have what it takes but yours certainly does.

Beautifully done
