Evernote 20120226 01:02:07.wavIs about Yaksha (demi-god who serves deity) who gets separated from his beloved and sends a message to her using a cloud(megha).

It is written erotically to her lover, describing the landscape of Bhārata in form of a woman. It is written in a culture of sanāta dharma , but it is mostly

literary work. .. and very beautiful.

made a dwelling in hermitages on Rāmagiri (where) shady trees were dense , (and) waters were (made) pure by the bathing of Sītā .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A certain Yaksha , who has grossly swerved from his duty and was (therefore ) deprived of his greatness(superhuman power) by his lord's curse to be suffered for a year and unbearable owing (as it led ) to separation from his beloved wife, took up his abode among the hermitages on Rāmagiri which had a thick growth of Nameru (or, shady) trees about them, and the waters where in were rendered holy by the abulations of Janaka's daughter (Sītā).
