Parvati Kalyanam : Sonnet - 3
Time strolled steadily, endorsing the reality,
Parvati grew up, into a charming young beauty;
Captivating serenity, blended with Royalty,
reflected in Parvati, as if Nature turned as a deity.
Gods and angels, are bewitched by her grace,
none could dare, to look at the radiant Mata;
Prophesy of Narad, sent Himavat into trance,
who can be the suitor, except the ascetic Deva.
Good news trickled, to the Kingdom at last,
Lord Shiv appeared, in a deep mountain synagogue;
Himavat and Parvati, made a visit steadfast,
Parvati was blessed, in the ensuing elegant dialogue.
Shiv Parvati forged, the entire existence,
encompassing time and space, as Nature’s confluence.
--- Pilla Gurumurty Patrudu
