“in all eternity
there’s less pain and suffering
than just this one life”
(Haiku by Senkyũ)
Visé (B)
Sitting on a floral throne after a long walk
The battlefield is waiting for the fighters
Who sits on the Red Lotus flower?
“The Goddess of Wealth
…who sits on the Red Lotus flower
offers the fair flow of water,
…affluent shadow,
affluence of paddy harvest,
…name and fame,
huge prosperity,
…lots of wealth and property;
she also always offers longevity
…for those who are not deceptive and trickery!”
(V.K. Kanniappan translation from Tamil Nalvazhi)
