“amid the fields –
oblivious to all things
skylark sing”
(Haiku by Bashõ)
Aywaille (B)
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)
