Miscellaneous Verses

Magnanimity

The world teems miracles, breeds grandest things,

But Rahu of all most marvellous and great

Or the vast Boar on white tusks delicate

Like buds who bears up Earth, else Chaos rings.

Rahu, cleft, trunkless, deathless, passionate,

Leaps on his foeman and can overbear,

A miracle, then, greater miracle, spare.
