Ashtavadhana Jagruta Mrugaraja
When palls covered the daylight,
Twilight has descended upon the moon,
The course dazed the foot keepers,
Hope had become un-anticipatable,
He arrived.
Yes, He arrived,
As a roaring lion of Matrubhumi,
As a glimmer of optimism in the gloom,
To build the pillar of Swarajya,
And to heighten and spread the wings of Kesari.
Cared for Praja as a mother,
Stood as Sahodara to fellow Bandhus,
Protected valley as a Narasimha,
He’s a Priya Putra of Devi Bhavani,
Initiated the Ashwamedha Yaga for Dushtasamhara.
Yes, we remember him,
His legacy is the hallmark of our Itihasa,
Bharatavarshas each breath,
Kshatra Dharmas each step,
Will remember him as a Ashtavadhana Jagruta Mrugaraja.
