Meghaduta 6

The Megha Dūta, or Cloud Messenger 6

Language: English

6

I know thee as born in the world renowned race of the Pushkarāvartas; you, the changer of shape at will, prime minister of Indra, therefore I pray thee, since, by the power of fate I am separated from my relation; for a fruitless petition to the good is better than obtaining your wish from the worthless.

6.n1

“Pushkaravarta” from “pushkara,” “water,” and “vrita,” “to have place in”—a watery cloud.
