BUDDHA - RE-DESCENT

B. Indira Kumari

1) O! The greatest of the “Sakhyas! Welcome. In all

reverence welcome thou art.

Let this country, India be beautified with

the touch of thy sacred feet,

Let thy sweet smiling blissful looks, just

akin to the honey waves,

Coming forth from the Flowers like ‘Mandara’

Cool the heated and the worried minds

of human beings.

2) The country’s good has fallen a prey to the

flames of selfishness,

Hatred has increased so fast and inevitable

has become the wicked propaganda,

O! Swami Siddartha! Descend once again to

establish tranquility and peace

In this Universe being over-ridden with

jealousies and vengeance

3) The lives of the poor are being invaded with the

demoniac powers

Thirsting for blood, progress has stopped anon

And freedom is fettered. Hence, O Swami

Come hither soon.

To save the ‘Swan, this earth’ wounded by the

arrows cast by the most vicious and heartless.

4) Broken into cracks is the universe with

the most fatal atom bombs;

Nowhere to be seen good understanding among

human beings;

Rotten have become ‘Panchasila’ Schemes

and the avaricious acts have exceeded limits.

Ah! Looted is humanity by the peoples’

fighting tendency, O Lord! Look at all these.

5) From all sides have spread the flames of

battles, taken with fright shudders

The whole universe and so dreadfully

roaring, the tiger of malice,

Has drunk in one gulp to its heart’s content

the blood of people

Roused is the meaningless egoism of nations

and the unruly acts have put on reins;

O Siddartha! we pray to thee to put out the

flames of destructive injustice and liberate

the whole universe
