Mahabharata

Beautiful like the Moon.

Is brave like unto the Lord of the Celestials.

In energy … like unto the Sun.

Bright eyes
Which were like lotus-blossoms.

Fixed like a rock.

Fleet as wind.

Forgiving like unto the Earth herself.

Gay as a rising sun.

Pure as the white stars sweeping through the sky.

Sparkling like lightning on a dusky sky.

Straight like a sala-tree.

Swiftly, like birds that skim the air.

Timid as a youth can be.
