The irony of ideals from cosmos
Forbidding a fragrant flower
Being offered to the auspicious one
Yet used to enliven the soul and senses.
.
The fate of a cream-colored flower
Foredoomed by the supreme divinity
A very dear to Lord Shiva
Succumbed to deception betwixt wrangle.
.
Lord Vishnu coveted internal happiness
Lord Brahma, to eliminate the desires
A contention fueled up and arose between the deities
With Lord Shiva addressed as the arbiter.
.
Mahakala, appeared as Jyotirmaya Linga
Asked the ever-victorious Anantajeet and the Creator
To seek the beginning and end of Linga
With threads of hope the deities advanced.
.
Adeep, the Lord of Light doomed and foiled
Neared Jagadisha in obeisance
In the cloudy adobe, pure and ecstatic
Perceived Shiva as the Swaroopa of Brahmaand.
.
Ketaki flower, naïve and pleasant
Floated aimlessly in the carousel around Linga
Trideva persevered afore his ego
Solicited the bloom into bearing false witness.
The perjurer however had to pay a price
Shiva’s vexation cursed Lord Brahma
Of not being worshipped in temples anymore
The floweret will not be used as worship to gods.
.
The love of Shiva for floret
Now turned into a disparaging disgrace
But as sunlight skimmed across universe
Pleads of Ketaki were contemplated.
.
The beautiful monsoon flower
Got back its praise and amour
Harmonize, sweet and silently buoyant
Although hinderances, Ketaki was joyful and pious afresh.
