SUBRAMANYA BHARATI
Translated from Tamil by R. Sundaresan
From the sea air travels landward;
is it not a wonder
that as the earth spins fast
the sea does not become topsy-turvy
and rush towards all directions?
It is the command of Mother Goddess
Let Her sacred name live long.
She fixed the gravitational force
on the earth.
That made things stationary.
The mountain does not roll down on our head,
the sea does not rise and submerge us,
the towns do not get disarranged,
the world functions in an orderly manner.
It is all because of Her grace.
Let Her name live long.
