aham dhanurdharashcha.
My shafts were straight as light,
Strong as wind.
My name was the colour of the jasmine.
And you said go, krishn,
And I went a long way
From your city, your kinsmen by my side.
Now the bow rests.
yatra te supatanti.
In the woods of Panchanada,
Half tired, half asleep,
Half believing I would rise.
panchanadasya vane shunte.
There the skies are never blue
The quiver is brimmed with water.
The arrows without speech.
yathechchasi,
tathaa kuru
