PART ONE....Oh, do take liberties with this tale.... I could feel the heroine of this story so much clearly through her memories of her remarkable and mysterious mother and a wise mother at that- -For, you yourselves are your best friend/And you are your worst enemy as well /Negative energy brings in disaster for you.'

- - - - Tears welled in my eyes I could hear my soul's cries. I could feel her presence by my side I wanted her aanchal for my face to hide.- - - - Wow, a young girl yearns for her mother during such a time. Countless women find themselves in similar state of mind when they're expecting. Beautifully written to the point of allowing the reader to envision and feel every line in this episode. Wonderfully written.100++++

Please read 'once' instead of 'onve', it has been inadvertently done.

Onve again I came to this poem in which the story of Satyawati, the great grand mother of Pandavas and Kourabas has been painted stunningly. Going deep into the poem I get clear picture of Satyawati's mother. Though she was a wife of fisherman yet she wasn't eating fish. She was pure vegetarian and pious lady. She knew sanskrit and taught Satyawati many slokas which put great impact upon Satyawati. Some lines may be quoted here... She had taught me read write and recite A few shlokas that I could as a little girl Satyam Vada, Dharmam Chara, she said Be truthful and tread the path of righteousness. Uddharet aatman aatmanam Na aatmanam avasadayet Aatmasya hi aatmano bandhu- Raatmaiva ripuraatmana. The love of her father and the affection of her past mother are being portrayed captivatingly. Many thanks dear ES for continuing the story.

Sir, Deeply obliged for reading the poem. And writing down this very poignant comments for me. As you would have noticed, the shloka starting: : Uddharet... is stolen from Shrimad Bhagavat Gita....

Not much is said in the epic about Satyawati's mother. So I have used my own imagination. Of course, she would have played a key role in moulding Satyawati as a great individual and the queen
