Today, on Hindi divas, sharing an excerpt from Jaishankar Prasad's Kamayani - an epic poem that delves into the intricacies of human actions and their consequences, offering a timeless reflection on life's moral and ethical dimension.

Two verses (93rd and 94th) from the 7th canto 'Karma (Action)' are being presented here.

*Context*
In the ethereal embrace of twilight's gentle caress, Manu - the primordial man and his companion, Shraddha (Kamayani), find themselves ensnared in a romantic setting.

Within the dimming embers of the world's genesis, Manu urges Shraddha to swing together in an intoxicating embrace.

Shraddha, aflame with passion, questions the fleeting nature of their emotions, a subtle tremor in her hints at the ever-looming specter of change in their shared journey. 

Their engagement delves into the profound realm of human existence, laden with symbolic richness.
