[58] Indeed, you have heard my prayer, you
- have heard, you have heard, you have
heard ! My womb is no charnel-house but a House
of Life since my infant hath stirred ! (We now find beside the Mother, her. husband Siddharth; her eldest son, Nandi Vardhan; and her daughter, Sudarshana who share the joy of the Bearer of One who was never born and shall never die)
SIDDHARTH What miracle is this !
NANDI VARDHAN Mother ! what miracle is this?
SUDARSHANA What miracle is this, Mother ?
SIDDHARTH You appear as though the blush of some eternal springtide had suddenly entered your blood and bones!
NANDI VARDHAN You appear as though a tide had swept a pearl beyond price from an ocean of peace and laid it as offering at your feet !
