Sarpasatram 1- aswathamah Comments
Aswathamah finished chanting
the Brahmatsra mantra panting
Shot the arrow at the little blossom
Still unborn in Uttara's bosom.

Aswathama is a character in the Mahabharata, who sends a chill into my spine. There is no one more wicked than him in the whole Mahabharata - not even Duryodhana. Unni, i am really really happy to see that you are bringing out all these stories for the world to read. Keep up the good work. Full vote for you.
Thank you Geeta for reading my poem. As you have written, Aswathamah is more wicked and scrupulous. He decided to kill the sons of Droupati in their sleep, which is against all ethics. And then, aiming a dart on a child in the womb, in un-heard of, until very recently. Thank you Geeta once again. The next episode is ready, but I want to refine it a little before I could post it on ph. May be in a day or two.
An epic narration, depicting war and peace. The whole history of mankind is replete with periods of trouble alternated by tranquil times. A gripping saga reflecting upon the virtues n vices of mankind. A skilfully written piece. A super 10.
Thank you Nosheen, for reading the poem. As you have observed, every epic is a cross section of the story of mankind. It is said about Mahabharat that you will find everything in it, that can be found anywhere else; but will not find anything anywhere, which you can not find in Mahabharat.. The story of Sarapasatram is definitely a gripping one. I hope you'd enjoy it.. Thank you.
you have the wonderful skill to narrate and create a kind of inquisitiveness among us though we read all these many times or heard of your unique presentation makes us to re read it, thanks for the invitation, keep rocking sir
Hi Saraswathy, Thank you for reading my poem and posting the comments. Your words of encouragement makes my day. Thank you Saraswathy..
You write these with a very stately heroic tone- perfect for a storyteller relating the epic adventures and brave deeds of the past heroes and how their actions affected the future of mankind. Again you have me eagerly waiting the next installment! 10++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hi Susan, Thank you for finding time read this poem. This one, on Sarpasathram is a story everyone would enjoy. As a child, I used to ask my mother to narrate this story for the n-th time. Repeatedly. Never bored listening to it. It is actulally frightening to think, whether I can do justice to it.. Hope, Susie, I will do my best. Thank you for the wonderful comment..
