Epics Aren’t Histories. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

Epics Aren’t Histories.



Has Lord Rama lived
As the Ramayana has depicted?
Has Lord Krishna lived
As the Mahabharata has enacted?
Epics are pictured
With a view to entertainment of mass.
Epics are written
With a view to literary merit.
They aren’t histories.
What they say are what their writers have said.
