Maryada Purushottam

Kya ambar ki nagari se woh rakhwala aaya
Jiske paoon chume dharti

Strangely for once a latest film song inspires an emotion of Bhakti
The above lines fron Shivam song in Bahubali 2 are like an avatar coming down

Has Lord Visnu as Rama been born
Whose feet Dharti (Sita) likes to adorn

He Who is above Fate
Chose to be bounded by It
He Who could Write It
Chose the dictate of the Written

He accepted the long exile with calm
When the kingdom was for his taking
He chose the bark and wild berries
Not the comforts, that royalty would bring

He fulfilled his father's promise
Breaking the old man's heart
He walked into the jaws of danger
Making Sacrifice a difficult Art

Courage is his ruby
Patience is his pearl
His virtues are more
Than facets of diamond

His wisdom shines like Guru
Intelligence of the entire universe
He is fearsome death to demons
The Ultimate remover of any curse

Broad-armed, long bow in hand
He fights indefatigably for hours
Till the problem is fully solved
Duty is his name, surname is Firm Resolve

He chose not to make Fate turn into
Whatever he wanted It to become
So that a common man strives
To follow the ideals of Maryada Purushottam
