# The Bengali Book of English Verse/Mahabharata — Funeral Rites (Romesh Chunder Dutt)

FUNERAL RITES.
Victor of a deathful battle, sad Yudhishthir viewed the plain, Friends and kinsmen, kings and chieftains, countless troops untimely slain, And he spake to wise Sudharman, pious priest of Kuru's race, Unto Sanjay, unto Dhaumya, to Vidura full of grace, Spake unto the brave Yujutsu, Kuru's last surviving chief, Spake to faithful Indrasena and to warriors sunk in grief; "Pious rites are due to foemen and to friends and kinsmen slain, None shall lack a fitting funeral, none shall perish on the plain." Wise Vidura and his comrades sped on sacred duty bound, Sandalwood and scented aloes, oil and ghee and perfumes found, Silken robes of costly splendour, fabrics by the artist wove, Dry wood from the thorny jungle, perfume from the scented grove, Shattered cane and splintered lances, hewed and ready for the fire, Piled and ranged in perfect order into many a funeral pyre. Kings and princes, noble warriors, were in rank and order laid, And with streams of melted butter were the rich libations made,
Blazed the fire with wondrous radiance by the rich libations fed, Sanctifying and consuming mortal remnants of the dead. Brave Duryodhan and his brothers, Salya of the mighty car, Bhurisravas king of nations, Jayadratha famed in war, Abhimanyu son of Arjun, Lakshman proud Duryodhan's son, Somadatta and the Srinjays famed for deeds of valour done, Matsya's monarch proud Virata, Drupad fair Panchala's king, And his sons, Panchala's princes, whose great deeds the minstrels sing, Cultured monarch of Kosala and Gandhara's wily lord, Kama proud and peerless archer, matchless with his flaming sword, Bhagadatta eastern monarch, all resistless in his car, Ghatotkacha son of Bhima, Alambusha famed in war, And a hundred other monarchs all received the pious rite, Till the radiance of the fire-light chased the shadows of the night! Pitri-medha, due to fathers, was performed with pious care, Hymns and wails and lamentations mingled in the midnight air, Sacred songs of rik and saman rose amidst the women's wail, And the creatures of the wide earth heard the sound subdued and pale! Smokeless and with radiant lustre shone each red and lighted pyre, Like the planets of the bright sky throbbing with celestial fire! Countless myriads, nameless, friendless, from each court and camp afar, From the east and west collected, fell in Kuru-Kshetra's war, Thousand fires for them were lighted, they received the pious rite, Such was good Yudhishthir's mandate, such was wise Vidura's might, All the dead were burned to ashes, and the sacred rite was o'er, Dhrita-rashtra and Yudhishthir slowly walked to Ganga's shore.
# The Bengali Book of English Verse/Mahabharata — Gandhari's Lament for the Slain (Romesh Chunder Dutt)

Mahabharata.
GANDHARI'S LAMENT FOR THE SLAIN.
Stainless Queen and stainless woman, ever righteous ever good,
Stately in her mighty sorrow on the field Gandhari stood!
Strewn with skulls and clotted tresses, darkened by the stream of gore,
With the limbs of countless warriors was the red field covered o'er, Elephants and steeds of battle, car-borne chiefs untimely slain,
Headless trunks and heads dissevered filled the red and ghastly plain!
And the long-drawn howl of jackals o'er the scene of carnage rings,
And the vulture and the raven flap their dark and loathsome wings, Feasting on the blood of warriors foul pisachas fill the air,
Viewless forms of hungry rakshas limb from limb the corpses tear!
Through this scene of death and carnage was the ancient monarch led,
Kuru dames with faltering footsteps stepped amidst the countless dead, And a piercing wail of anguish burst upon the echoing plain,
As they saw their sons or fathers, brothers, lords, amidst the slain,
As they saw wolves of the jungle feed upon the destined prey, Darksome wanderers of the midnight prowling in the light of day!
Shriek of pain and wail of anguish o'er the ghastly field resound, And their feeble footsteps falter and they sink upon the ground,
Sense and life desert the mourners as they faint in common grief,
Death-like swoon succeeding sorrow yields the sufferers short relief!
Then a mighty sigh of anguish from Gandhari's bosom broke,
Gazing on her anguished daughters unto Krishna thus she spoke:
"Mark my unconsoled daughters, widowed queens of Kuru's house,
Wailing for their dear departed, like the osprey for her spouse!
How each cold and fading feature wakes in them a woman's love, How amidst the lifeless warriors still with restless steps they rove,
Mothers hug their slaughtered children all unconscious in their sleep, Widows bend upon their husbands and in ceaseless sorrow weep!
Mighty Bhishma, hath he fallen? quenched is archer Karna's pride?
Drupad monarch of Panchala sleeps by foeman Drona's side?
Shining mail and costly jewels, royal bangles strew the plain, Golden garlands rich and burnished deck the chiefs untimely slain, Lances hurled by stalwart fighters, clubs of mighty wrestlers killed, Swords and bows of ample measure, quivers still with arrows filled!
Mark the unforgotten heroes, jungle prowlers 'mid them stray, On their brow and mailed bosoms heedless perch the birds of prey!
Mark the great unconquered heroes famed on earth from west to east,
Kankas perch upon their foreheads, hungry wolves upon them feast!
Mark the kings, on softest cushion scarce the needed rest they found, How they lie in peaceful slumber on the hard and reddened ground! Mark the youths who morn and evening listed to the minstrel's song, In their ear the loathsome jackal doth his doleful wail prolong! Mark the chieftains with their maces and the swords of trusty steel, Still they grasp their well tried weapons,—do they still the life-pulse feel?"
# The Bengali Book of English Verse/Hymn to Shiva (Omesh Chunder Dutt)

Hymn to Shiva.
Shiva! whom all the gods in heaven obey, Thou mightiest, deign to hear my humble prayer! I've sinned. Oh, save me from the fiend Despair, Which turns to gloom the sunshine of the day! The angry storms of Fate around me play, Strange sounds are hurtling through the troubled air, Be thou my steadfast rock, my guide, and stay.
Thou who art king of all the things I see, Thou who art clothed in glory and in light, Thou from whose tresses sprang, in radiance bright, The sacred Ganges rolling wide and free, Thou art my hope—lo! here I bring to thee, To find forgiveness in thy awful sight, These varied offerings on my bended knee.
Dread lord of Uma, to whose golden shrine In far Benares countless pilgrim bands, From Indian cities and from distant lands, Yearly repair in never-ending line, I too will visit that abode divine, If I but now receive thy high commands;— Oh, leave me not in bitter grief to pine!
O thou! who dwellest on the lofty crown 'Mid the pure snows of cloud-capped Kalasay, From thy bright region of ne'er-ending day, In pity on this sinful one look down. Chase from thy lofty brow that angry frown, And let me go in peace of mind away, Rejoicing, to my distant native town.

# The Complete Poems of Richard Barnfield/From England's Helicon

V. FROM ENGLAND'S HELICON. 1600.
Note.—From "England's Helicon:" 1600 (Sign H. 1 and 2). Like "As it fell vpon a day," as it appears in E. H. "The Vnknowne Sheepheards Complaint" is signed Ignoto; but seeing that "As it fell vpon a day" is known from other sources to be Barnefield's, its heading, "Another of the same Sheepheards," enables us to redeem "The Vnknowne Sheepheards Complaint" for Barnefield. This is done for the first time, but it is clear that the somewhat ill-informed editor of "England's Helicon" (John Bodenham?), though for the moment unaware (or uncertain) of the authorship of either, did know that both belonged to the same Author. See our Introduction on "As it fell vpon a day." Sonnet XV. of the Sonnets with "Cynthia," &c. (p. 91), also appears as "The Shepheards Sonnet" in "England's Helicon," (p. 2), with only slight changes, e.g. in line 1 'My' for 'Ah,' 'Ganimede' for 'Ganymede,' 'swaines' for 'swains.' His name 'Rich. Barnefield' is added to it.—G.
