Prafulla Kumar Mohanty's
DRAUPADI - XXXIII
Draupadi joined her husbands
in generating life sustaining
properties in the sterile void
the boulders canker growth
gave way to a green mantle
or mother earth's agonized soul.
She fruited flowers grained
under the loving care of Pandavs
their labour and sweat mixed with
Draupadi's love made Indraprastha
a new Elysium of plenty, Paddy
grew in abundant measures to feed
the poor, rich and the uncared for
birds, animals, guests and visitors
yet there was ample stock
for trade all over Aryabarta
and beyond, pulses,
fruits, gems
brought immense wealth and power.
Draupadi had a generous measure
of stomachs minds and emotions
needs aspirations of all who moved
in Moya's palace a unique piece
of architecture interwoven with
magic fountains of splendorous joy
the transparent quartz floors
obelisks of gem studded marbles
domes of ivory creepered with
gold enamel of emerald leaves
murmuring love birds singing erotica.
Halls of shape and size shaming
Indra's Sudharma circular baths
of crystal beauty dining halls
accommodating thousands and such like
facilities of deathless luxury:
Draupadi was the pivotal life buzz
in this universe of power and glory.
