The ascent and the descent
Arohana and Avarohana
Life oscillates between notes
Each note adding uncertainty.
Then you enter the score
An unexpected note
Not a high, not a low
But a pleasant Gamaka
But a pleasant Gamaka
Just a handful of Atukulu from Kuchela
It was enough for Krishna to give him all.
A single thought of you brings ecstasy
Perhaps you are Krishna, after all.
Like Urmila in her silent Nidra,
I would wait years in quiet longing
Enduring, unseen, with only the Narayana as my witness.
The longing becomes the very bridge to grace.
Tyagaraja and Parvati, Ramadasu and Kamala
companions in devotion and song.
May our harmony lead us ever closer to the Divine,
Our love becoming the Raga that carries us to Moksha.

Grace of the three divine mothers shines through you.
With Kanyadanam, our Grahastha Ashrama begins.
Only with you as my partner am I fit to uphold Dharma
Together, we walk the path as prescribed by the Shastras.

Everyone says, "Kadha Kanchiki."
Because every tale returns to Kamakshi Devi,
That final journey to her feet
I can only imagine with you.
I can only imagine with you.
