With a quiet stream of the river of tears concealed underneath, The days of two women quietly passed by. At last one night in Baisakh (the first month of Bengali Calendar) Manjulika got married to Panchanon. so sad a story of injustices from self-willed terrible father.. but finally she got married with Putin...... very nice story. i had read it in english before. but now your translation direct from bengali was very nice....... thank u dear poetess. tony

Thanks, Tony, for reading this long poem, and rating it so highly. Extremely glad to share the translation with you. There are so many gems from Rabindranath Tagore, the Nobel-laureate poet, but many of them haven't been translated yet. This is my humble attempt to translate one of the narrative poems.
