NAVARASAS-BIBATSA
BIBATSA
Bibatsa, emotion disgusting and nauseating
Viewing coarser and graceless something
Things below
human dignity
Offend sense
of morality.
Heard Surpanaka , sister of Ravana , story
In Ramayana
, a female demon story
Rama, Son of
King Dasaratha
in exile
Moved in forest
Panchavati for a while.
Surpanaka
struck with arrows of Cupid
With power
of witchcraft disguised her form splendid
Alluring
figure approached Rama, Rama spurned her advances
Rama shows
no interest, Rama monogamous.
Suggested
her marry His brother Lakshmana
Good
looking, good conduct, promising, valiant Lakshmana
Lakshmana suggested, she be second wife of Rama
Besides His devoted, dutiful wife Sita.
Humiliated
and jealous Surpanaka
Her attack directed on Sita
Lakshmana intolerant, immediately react
Cut off her
nose, Surpanaka sped to Lanka fast.
Hear story
of Prince Siddharta, young prince smart
Saw suffering
in old age and death in disgust
Disgust
transformed into sorrow, introspection and peace
Turned into
Gautama Buddha, enlightened one
Bibatsa rasa
of separating lovers
Thirukkural saying you hear
Sellamai
undale enakku urai
mortru nin
Valvaravu vazzhorku urai
In English
what lover means, listen to me
If you are
talking about not leaving me, tell me
Otherwise if
it is about
your returning soon
Tell that to someone who will survive then.
