“Hey Anaìga! Are you inflicting pain on me with such fury because you think that I am Lord Çiva? Why have you become so harsh? This is not the king of snakes, Väsuké, upon my chest. It is actually a necklace made of lotus stems. The blueness of my throat is not the effect of poison, but a garland of blue lotus flowers. This is not ash from a funeral pyre smeared on my body. It is sandalwood paste applied in the absence of my beloved. So go away! You have caught me by mistake, so stop unnecessarily raining your terrible arrows upon me. Why are you running after me in such a rage? And look! Lord Çiva lives happily with half of his body united with Pärvaté, whereas I am far from united with Rädhikä – I don’t even know where she is.” |
