Satyawati -14 Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Satyawati -14
14. Changing Life
The marriage was simple, ritualistic.
The palace was large, amazing
First time in my life, I had servants
And a firm roof over my head.
Santanu was eager to have me
In his bedroom. For many days,
He did not get out of my antapura
Never let me out of his arms strong.
The matters of governance
Devabrata took good care of
With the help of ministers.
Never disturbed the king.
Initial sarcasm of the servants about
"Fisherwoman feigning as queen"
Gave way for respect and reverence
For my conduct in just a few days.
Devabrata gave me all the respect
Due to a mother and the queen.
Nobody noticed how the time passed
I gave birth to two sons in so many years.
Chitrangad was just one year old
When Vichitravirya was born.
Our hearts were filled with joy
Seeing how Devabrata loved them.
Great depiction of character of Satyawati...loved this poem
Very Heart Warming! ! ! ! ! And Beautifully Sown! ! ! ! ! Thank You Ever So Much For Sharing This! ! ! ! ! Endless 10S! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! +++++
Oh, dear. I know there will be a plot twist coming. A story is propelled forward by disaster and heartbreaks. I shudder to turn the page in this epic poem... but I will because you have put a spell on me with this story! ! !
Hi Susie, I feel very happy to learn that the poem and the story communicate with you. And deeply obliged for the learned comment.
Quite a satisfactory creation, more than Chitrangad for Shantanu, this poem is so fast covering almost a decade from the Mahabharata regime. I wished you were a bit slow, I mean a bit more narrating. So that we could get the K.M. Munshi taste from the episodes. 10++++ for the poem shared.
Sir, When I started the series, I was confident that I would complete the entire story in 10 episodes. Now, to my utter astonishment, I have done 16 and am only half-way though. I do understand that this has made me a little impatient. I am sorry for that.. I will try to make for this.. And a BIG THANKS! ! ! ! ! ! !
Lovely story.. Acceptable of sathyawathi as queen and the love of king towards her, the birth of two kids and overall the love of devabatra towards siblings so nicely quoted by your poetic expression. Huge 10

In this episode you have narrated about how Satyawati became queen and the birth of Chitrangad and Vichitravirya captivatingly. Let some lines be quoted here...... Initial sarcasm of the servants about Fisherwoman feigning as queen Gave way for respect and reverence For my conduct in just a few days. Devabrata gave me all the respect Due to a mother and the queen. Nobody noticed how the time passed I gave birth to two sons in so many years. Chitrangad was just one year old When Vichitravirya was born. Our hearts were filled with joy Seeing how Devabrata loved them. Thanks for sharing.
