☆ 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
