But bold Krishna drove his chariot, whispered unto him his plan, Arjun placed the young Sikhandin in the deathful battle's van! |
Didst thou hide the birth and lineage of that chief of deathful ire, As a man in folds of garments seeks to hide the flaming fire? |
Kurus knew the vow of Arjun, heard the sankha's deathful blare, As it rose above the red field, thrilled the startled morning air! |
Wherefore hath untimely sorrow like a darksome cloud above, Cast its pale and deathful shadow on the children of my love? |
And what we found was not horrible nor deathful, but bright, promising, scented like first fruits. |
When a boy reads of the Desert of Sahara, he pictures it as terrible and deathful. |
