TRIVENI

 

V. Lalitha Kumari

 

It is the confluence of great rivers

That makes prayag a pious pilgrim-place;

It is the quality of prose and verse

That lends Triveni rare glory and grace.

The Crystalline Ganges coming from East,

The affluent Yamuna flowing amain,

The calm Saraswathi that shows the least,

There merge prestine waters to absolve men.

Gleanings from the Literary garden,

Flowers picked from History’s boundless field,

Fruits of Artists’ and Scientists’ acumen,

Are dealt Here deftly, rich rewards to yield.

To sow and spread values is this book’s aim

Success therein has brought it name and fame.
