🍃 Well-Seasoned 🍂

'One-𝕊hot'  about the ℙandavas, as the seasons change.



𝕍isakhayupa forest, flora rich, and fauna, dwelt the Pandavas - a year

𝕍alour and vigour in their strides, march on from the mountain snows

𝕄oving onwards, where forest meets desert, the twelfth now near


𝔸rchery and asceticism- adept in all - on to Saraswati serene stream

𝔻waitavana lake, by sages ancient the ℙandavas with wisdom greeted

𝕊heltering 'neath shirisha and sami, leaves rudraksha and rohita refresh

𝕋heir hearts and minds with peace fortified by these verdant trees 


𝕊ummer to season showery turns,from sandy tracts the ℙandavas move   


𝔹ranches of carved jade brush a jasmine petalled sky

𝕊ense of the stars,  𝕊ahadeva reads their white in the dark

𝔸stronomer, astrologer and a swordsman so sharp


𝔾alloping now the gale and again those shafts of rain

𝕂neeling  ℕakula harvesting healthful herbs 

ℍealer too this hero, horse-man heaven-sent


𝕃iquid steel, piercing the earth-bed like arrows

𝕃ightning  𝔸rjuna argent bow-string, swift-fingered 

𝔻eft he dances daring  with deadly skills


𝔸nd ravenous the river rushes by its bank,  still-seated sages

𝔹ountiful life-forms, 𝔹hima burnished tending feast for all

𝕊trong-armed wrestler with a warm-heart


ℙlumed pluvial peacock proclaims - to reign at last!

𝕐uddhishthira welcomes the yogis, wisdom of a thousand eyes

𝕊traight his spear, not a gambler  with the truth


𝕂artik of the full moon, autumnal lapis the cloud-shorn sky

𝔻raupadi in the fire-light, unadorned - a single pearl on sable cheek

ℙoised even in pain, distanced sons so close in her thoughts

''The Malhar family of ragas are associated with rejuvenation, heroism, and growth, and are said to summon monsoon rains if sung correctly.''
