The look

No it is not her looks.

...

It is her look.

...

A thousand words of desire
from a thousand nymphs
cannot match the one glance
that this daughter of Videha
gives when I emerge from the river
after my morning bath.

...

Because,

the moon with her million stars
still fades when the sun arrives alone.

- Told by Rama to Guha when asked why he did not take many wives like the kings of his time.

  1. Is is based on a poem you read? It's very beautiful and has a lot of shades to it. Just one thing, there seem to be too many judgments against Brahmins.. so we can see the author... which is not a very good thing..

    I loved the story.. Perhaps this is why we venerate cows today.. I am rambling, but that is because I am lost in the story.

    Very nice one, Agni... :)

    Yours, - JAB
