कानिचनपद्यानि


पद्यम् १

प्रत्येकशब्दंक्षतिपूर्णयुक्तम्
चिन्ताविहीनं परिभग्नसूत्रम् ।
भूयोपिभूयश्रवणार्हसत्वम्
ऐन्द्रीममाङ्के वदतीतितुष्टः।।
chandas (meter): indravajrA

Every word has many mistakes, they are spoken without any thought 
and every conceivable rule is broken. (Yet) the words are good and 
make us want to hear it again and again. 
(Why?)
They are spoken by Ayndree sitting on my lap. Hence I am happy.


शिवरात्री २०२४

वरस्यभूतादिपिशाचमण्डलम्।
समीक्ष्यचिन्तातुरकन्यकादलम्।।
उवाच देवीं परितुष्टकामिनीम्।
इमंक्व नूनं परिणेतुमिच्छसि।।
chandas (meter): vamshastham

After seeing the ghouls and demons in the wedding party of the groom (shiva),
the extremely concerned relatives of the bride (pArvatI), who was brimming with
happiness of marrying the man she wanted, asked her 
"why are you so adamant on marrying this man?"

कविसमयः इति ज्ञातः, कविसमस्याः अत्र क्वचित्। 

कण्ठस्थवृत्तिर्बुधबन्धुसङ्घः 
व्यर्थायसर्वेप्युपलब्धकोशाः। 
अन्ते तु मात्रागणनैवशेषः
मात्रा प्रदत्तां प्रतिभामनर्ज्य ।।
chandas (meter): indravajrA

Some problems while writing verses. 

The metrical patterns are memorized, there is the company of wise people, there is access to all the dictionaries of the world. But all of this is useless. I end up counting just the mAtrAs (letters to fit the meter) and have only that left to show. Because I have not received/earned the pratibhA (creativity) given by the Mother (mAtA).
