☆ Pandu’s end ☆
A young man that he was
Difficult it was for Pandu to restrain
Tried his best to desist
But could not adjust to a life of pain
Life futile made by Kindama’s curse
Roamed he like an ascetic though
Evening the bearing of sons by Dharma
Could not bring back his glow
One day, the stunning Madri he saw
And his vision turned lustful
In his moment of yearn, touched her
And in his arms was his wife beautiful
The opportunity to mate had come after long
They caressed each other in delight
Completely lost they were in love
For a moment forgot, what is wrong and right
The curse soon came calling
And Pandu was no more
Reduced to flames was he
Who had been the mighty king of yore
