60 ) I muse upon the RUDRAS sporting the (third) phase of the moon with

Rudraanies around as specified in the Hymn Rudram in those 16 palaces.

 

Un quote :

 

This reminds me of my Grand Mother in those good old days summoning us to see

the third phase of the moon and make us Chant the Rudra Gayathry.We used to run

to see the third Phase of the moon , as it remained there on the horizon for a

very short period after sunset. Now a days I am not able to impart such a

training to my Children ,due to pressure of office and also you can hardly see

this phase of moon in cities due to the high rise buildings, obstructing the

view of the low horizon.

61 ) With in 7 Yojanas distance the fort made of Maragatha Ratna , like the

color of Fresh Grass, grant inestimable Wealth and Prosperity.

 

 

 

 

 

62 ) I cogitate on the Gold Palm trees to which are tied Madhu pots,located in

between the fort of pearl and Maragatha, in the city which looks like a heap of

gems of Emerald Green.

 

With Warm Regards
