Satyawati -17 Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Satyawati -17
17. The Reign
It rained copiously in Shravan
Sun shined in the summer months
Crops were good and people happy
The gods were on my side.
Devabrata was always by my side
Helping me to run the government
Had raised and trained the army
So nobody dared to test our borders.
He took care of my sons' education
In politics, rajatantra and governance
Their training in warfare and weaponry
Their grooming as princes and rulers.
There were kings growing restless
At our strength and prosperity
Acceptance among our peers
And growing status and influence.
But before the might of our army,
Its renowned commander
The great warrior Devabrata
Not many dared to raise their heads.
Devabrata loved to live in peace
Live and let live was his policy
Even with sworn enemies, never fought
A war, unless we were attacked.
Those who challenged our borders
Succumbed to the might of our army
Ended up as our protectorates
Paying us ransom or simply annexed.
I was the proud queen of Hastinapura
More proud as mother of Devabrata
Revered by kings and princes
I enjoyed the fruit of success.
