She stands before the resplendent One
Contemplating how do I bedeck her?
Gems and jewels illuminate her
Dazzling attire adorns her
Infinite lamps to brighten her up
Flowers of myriad hues swathe her
Not contented, searches for ways to beautify her
An epitome of a woman, her wishes and desires
But the chaste One
Wants no adornment
No embellishments
Just a few flowers and leaves
Is all that she desires
Gentle, serene, tranquil
Espoused women seek conjugal bliss
Angel for a long life of their consort
Both the deities are invoked
In the month of Shravan
And their blessings sought
But aren’t they the two faces of womanhood?
One, the essence of her wishes
The Other One, of her duties!
