The Tusker Elephants Of Pandya King Closed Their Eyes! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Tusker Elephants Of Pandya King Closed Their Eyes!



The Pandya King wearing the winning garland
…closed his eyes with his clothes while seeing

the women folk of the defeated and killed kings
…entering into the death pyre of their husbands!

The tusker elephants of Pandya king closed their eyes,
…unable to see the tears shedding female elephants

of the opponent kings while their companion
…male elephants were destroyed in the battle field!
