POEM ON FEMININE QUALITIES
The Gita's song, a wisdom deep,
Of paths to tread, and truths to keep.
It speaks of strength, both bold and bright,
And female virtues, filled with light.
Like Kirti, fame, a gentle grace,
Reflected in a smiling face.
And Śrī, fortune's golden gleam,
A flowing river, like a dream.
Vāk, the power of spoken word,
A bridge of kindness, gently heard.
Smṛti, memory's precious hold,
Medhā, wisdom, clear and bold,
A guiding star, in darkest night.
Dhṛti, steadfast, firm, and true,
A strength within, to see things through.
And Kṣamā, patience, calm and deep,
A gentle promise, secrets to keep.
In every soul, a light can shine,
Feminine virtues, truly divine.
