This is the portrayal of the pain of Adi Shankara's mother and also the anguish of the sage himself from which a heartfelt prayer emanates. It has a great emotional appeal. Thanks for sharing.

Adi Sankara, the greatest spiritual poet ever away on spiritual attainment, had a premonition on his mother’s impending death...arriving out just to find his mother breathing last… The all-renounced Sanyasin couldn't but lament on his inability to serve his mother on her death bed...This superb poem, an elegy- half in devotion half in remorse- defines Motherhood... Good work on the Divine Sage Indira... The quoted translation also read very good...a ten for you laudable effort
