________________ Bahubali Methinks, Bharata could have said 'NO' To the chagrin of the Old wise ministers of The warring camps Who joined hands to champion The cause Not of Bharata, nor of me, Bahubali, But of Tirthankara Adinath, our father Whose sermon of non-violence Would have lain bleeding mortally Under the clank of swords And the trample of tuskers ! So what? War being war My brother could have said 'NO' But he did not. Jain Education International The scales stood heavily tilted, Against him. The dice stood heavily loaded, Favouring me, I clashed. And clashed, And clashed. To humble him down I used my strength Shamelessly! To vent his fury He summoned his Cakra Aggressively. Safe in the thought, perhaps, That I could not smother him Safe in the thought, perhaps, That he could not obliterate meThe two, in whose veins flows The blood of the Tirthankara; The two, whose cheeks Are washed with the same Salt of tears In shared remorse !
