Tanka Sequence : Invocation of an Ascetic

Kuma Raj Subedi Australia

 

Enclosing a house

blowing the Shinghini-horn*

eeriness is stopped

by mystical kundalas*

invoking the Mother Earth.

 

In the hunted house

chants by Kanphatta-yogi*

tells a bewitching story

that cure in utter darkness

guarantees the next sunshine.

 

During broad daylight

the cure from the yogi’s chants

bring bold cheerfulness

turning omen into bliss

like chlorine breaks down ozone.

 

  1. A blow horn carved from deer antlers
  2. Heavy earrings worn by male Yogis
  3. A clan within the Nath community
