Vasava An Untold Story 1/Many
Vasava
An untold story
The story as Vasavadutta originally conceived and written by my late father Dr.Amar Nath
Kapoor* in Hindi many many years back, but Accidentally the major portion of his hand
written manuscript got lost with many of his other hand written manuscripts during his
lifetime itself. He had a deep attachment for this unique story belonging to the period of
Guam Buddha 559 BC.
Since I had heard him reciting this story when the manuscript was present I am trying to
rewrite this unique story, as was wished by my late father. Hope my poetry soup friends
would find it a unique story portraying a beautiful character of a dancer Vasavadutta or
Vasava, who was an embodiment of beauty. Her life changed completely when she came to
see Gautama Buddha.
I am rewriting his idea and story in English and hope to have your both types of comments
as you find and feel, as it is always precious for me.
Vasava
An untold story Part 01/Many
She was a woman of splendid and unparallel beauty
Lavishly bestowed and blessed on her by Nature
Her intoxicating and lovely youth, had sparked
Her beauty and enchanting ness far and wide on Earth
On the beauty of her face and hanging hair locks
Many and mighty had sacrificed and burnt like moths
To see only a glimpse of her dance and to hear her voice
Many lost their entire wealth, only to enjoy her dance
Brahma* had labored hard, while shaping her beauty
Her enchanting eyes use to glitter, like beautiful sapphires
Which were studded in the golden cups of her lovely eyes
Attracting everyone, who came in the closeness of her eyes
During her dance performances, her eyes use to sprinkle
A passionate intoxicating wine, to charm the audience
Her spectators never appears to stop drinking that wine
To get completely lost themselves in the charms of her dance
