Yayathi Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

Interesting stories of Indian epics
Wonderful creativity of moral stories
The great poets and philosophers they
Ever loved, revered and reviewed
with due respects they deserves.

The story of Puru the son of Yayathi
Yayathi the king cursed by Sage Sukra
For making an affair with Sarmishta
The subjugated princess of Vrishaparvav
On a little mistake committed in a moment
To the Daughter of Sukra, Devayani
Made complaints to the father in her rage

The curse goes to happen in the way of aging
The young and beautiful King becomes aged
Unable to enjoy the worldly life and pleasures
In such happiness and pomp and pride.
Dejected himself asks pardon from the sage
Which in the way complied with a boon.

He can exchange the curse with any of his sons
And regain his youthful presence in such spirits
The son taking the aged, tired look from father
For the time being until the king decides
And opts himself for aging and giving back,
His beauty and vigor fits for the prince to rule
The large estate of India the great country

But none of the elder sons came for the help
Not ready to exchange their youthful look
For accepting the aged body and wrinkle face
Of their father which they refused.

At last Puru the younger one son of Sarmishta
Came to the rescue of father and promptly accepted
The choice to receive and exchange his youth
Not for any worldly gain or pleasure in future
Purely to be loyal and disciplined son of the father
After a spell of hundreds of years, enjoying life
The King Yayadhi gave back the youth to Puru
Who was so wise, gentle, and brave King who ruled
And also never forgot to get friendliness to brothers
A Moral story of Father son Relationship
It is great and interesting to read.
Father, Mother, and sons and daugthers
There is no comparison to their love and relations
Where selfishness and pleasure doesn't matter
Epic stories for betterment of society.
