O beautiful, moon-faced maiden with swift, restless eyes, Your speech is full of playful wit and flattering charms. Like a clever, artful woman with a whimsical, dancing heart, You walk ahead, counting the colorful patterns on your path. At the moment you gather the golden champa flowers, When your moon-like countenance beams with a radiant glow, The restless bumblebees, along with their entire swarming army, Are startled and scatter away in sudden fright. As your curly locks of hair gently kiss your soft chin, Your face, framed by beautifully arched eyebrows, looks like a perfect painting. Draped in finest garments of pure Chinese silk, Your entire form is gracefully anointed with fragrant sandalwood paste. The four-faced Creator, Lord Brahma, toiled across all the four cosmic eras To sit and meticulously sculpt your exquisite beauty. Being so deceptive, why do you come to ensnare This lifelong celibate youth into the web of your circular trap? — Ratnamaya Tripathy Adhyayana, Balangir Original Odia : Ratnamaya Tripathy Translated by : Dr. Khyatimaya Tripathy Ratnamaya Tripathy now presents a poem showcasing "Cha-Anuprasa" (Alliteration of the letter 'Cha' / ଚ-ଅନୁପ୍ରାସ). Every single word in this verse begins with the letter "Cha" (ଚ), pulling from highly sophisticated, classical Odia vocabulary to describe the mesmerizing, almost divine beauty of a woman and the sweet entrapment of her love.

हे चंचल आँखों वाली सुंदर चंद्रमुखी सुंदरी! तुम्हारी वाणी चातुर्य, चपलता और मोहक छलावे से भरी है। एक चतुर स्त्री की तरह एक चंचल, तरंगित मन लेकर, तुम राहों के अनगिनत रंगों को गिनती हुई चलती जाती हो। चंपा के फूलों को चुनते समय तुम्हारे चंद्रमा जैसे मुखड़े पर जब अद्भुत चमक बिखरती है, तब चपल भँवरें अपने पूरे दल-बल (फ़ौज) के साथ, सहसा चौंककर डर के मारे भाग खड़े होते हैं। तुम्हारी घुँघराली अलकें (लटें) जब तुम्हारी ठोड़ी को चूमती हैं, तब सुंदर भृकुटी (भौंहों) से सजा तुम्हारा मुख किसी चित्र सा प्रतीत होता है। चीन के रेशम (चीनांशुक) से बने महीन वस्त्र धारण किए हुए, तुम्हारा यह पूरा रूप चंदन के लेप से सुवासित है। चार मुख वाले ब्रह्मा ने चारों युगों तक कठिन परिश्रम करके, बैठकर तुम्हारी इस अनुपम छवि को गढ़ा है। फिर ऐसी मायाविनी बनकर तुम भला इस चिर-कुमार (ब्रह्मचारी) को, अपने प्रेम के इस चक्रव्यूह (चक्रबंध) में बाँधने क्यों चली आती हो? — रत्नमय त्रिपाठी अध्ययन, बलांगीर Original Odia : Ratnamaya Tripathy Translated by : Dr. Khyatimaya Tripathy Ratnamaya Tripathy now presents a poem showcasing "Cha-Anuprasa" (Alliteration of the letter 'Cha' / ଚ-ଅନୁପ୍ରାସ).

After causing the incident and leaving me deeply wounded, You have now come to mend the breach. With a sweat-drenched body, you are shaping an earthen pot, Disguising yourself as a humble potter. Throughout the entire monsoon season, instead of becoming close to me, You only maintained a distant, heavy pride. Harboring feelings of hatred and visiting repeatedly, You orchestrated a plot that brought ruin upon my home. Searching for your anklets (Ghungroo) on the steps of the bathing ghat, While suffering from the trauma of these open wounds today, Look at me—smearing camphor over my body, I am enduring fatal blows inside my own house. O woman with thick, dark hair! Holding a water pitcher in your hands, Come to me in the divine avatar of Goddess Ghatakali. Pouring the dense, soothing nectar of love over this battered body, Destroy all these agonizing pains and wounds. — Ratnamaya Tripathy Adhyayana, Balangir —————–Original Odia : Ratnamaya Tripathy Translated by : Dr. Khyatimaya Tripathy Continuing his astonishing sequence of classical alliterative compositions (Anuprasa), Ratnamaya Tripathy now presents a poem featuring "Gha-Anuprasa" (Alliteration of the letter 'Gha' / ଘ-ଅନୁପ୍ରାସ). Every single word in this piece begins with the letter "Gha" (ଘ), utilizing heavy, classical Odia vocabulary to portray a dramatic story of betrayal, pain, and a plea for healing.

हादसा कर (विपदा लाकर) मुझे घायल करने के बाद, अब तुम घाव पर मरहम लगाने (तटबंध बाँधने) आए हो। पसीने से लथपथ शरीर से तुम मिट्टी का घड़ा गढ़ रहे हो, एक साधारण कुम्हार का वेष धारण करके। पूरे सावन (वर्षा ऋतु) भर मेरे करीब न आकर, तुम सिर्फ अपनी दूरी और भारी घमंड दिखाते रहे। मन में घृणा का भाव लिए बार-बार आकर, तुमने ऐसा चक्रव्यूह रचा जिसने मेरा घर ही डुबो दिया। नदी के घाट पर तुम्हारे घुँघरुओं को ढूँढते हुए, आज इन गहरे ज़ख्मों की चोट से कराहते हुए, देखो मुझे—अपने बदन पर कपूर मलकर, मैं अपने ही घर में इस आघात को सह रहा हूँ। हे घने काले केशों वाली सुंदरी! हाथ में पानी का घड़ा थामे, तुम संकट हरने वाली 'घटकालिका' के रूप में आओ। इस घायल शरीर पर प्रेम का सघन रस उड़ेलकर, मेरे इन सारे दुखों और आघातों का नाश कर दो। — रत्नमय त्रिपाठी अध्ययन, बलांगीर —————–Original Odia : Ratnamaya Tripathy Translated by : Dr. Khyatimaya Tripathy Continuing his astonishing sequence of classical alliterative compositions (Anuprasa), Ratnamaya Tripathy now presents a poem featuring "Gha-Anuprasa" (Alliteration of the letter 'Gha' / ଘ-ଅନୁପ୍ରାସ).

A floral wreath (Gajra) adorns your hair bun, and a marigold garland rests on your neck; Saffron-colored robes drape your body. A deep, sacred mark (Tilak) sits gracefully upon your cheeks, And your gait is full of solemn dignity. Singing in the exquisite style of the celestial Gandharvas, chant for me The glorious and sacred teachings of Lord Chaitanya (Gauranga). Bringing down the celestial waters from the heavens into the local stream, Recount the sacred legends of devotion to Mother Ganga. Yesterday, opening the window of my room, As I sat down to compose a lyrical song, The image of a heavenly nymph flashed across my mind, Moving with the majestic, slow gait of an elephant (Gajagamini). You are the precious, preserved treasure of our rural princely states; Your beauty is as fragrant as the earth itself. O moon-faced one, flowing pure like the sacred Gandaki river, What is this divine, mystic attire that you have fashioned? — Ratnamaya Tripathy Adhyayana, Balangir —————–Original Odia : Ratnamaya Tripathy Translated by : Dr. Khyatimaya Tripathy This is Ratnamaya Tripathy's another master piece. this time showcasing "Ga-Anuprasa" (Alliteration of the letter 'Ga' / ଗ-ଅନୁପ୍ରାସ).

जूड़े में गजरा सजा है और गले में गेंदे की माला है, काया पर गेरुआ (भगवा) वस्त्र सुशोभित है। तुम्हारे गालों (कपोलों) पर गहरा तिलक लगा है, और तुम्हारी चाल अत्यंत गंभीर एवं राजसी है। गंधर्वों जैसी मधुर शैली में गायन करते हुए सुनाओ चैतन्य महाप्रभु (गौरांग) के गौरव की पवित्र वाणी। आकाशगंगा की धार को स्थानीय गँगुआ (नदी) में बहाते हुए, गंगा माता के प्रति भक्ति की पावन कहानी सुनाओ। कल बीते हुए दिन, खिड़की (झरोखा) खोलकर जब मैं बैठकर एक गीत लिख रहा था, तब आकाश की अप्सरा का रूप आँखों के सामने तैर गया, जो गजगामिनी (हाथी जैसी मस्त और गरिमामयी) चाल से चल रही थी। तुम हमारे ग्रामीण गढ़जातों (रियासतों) की सहेजी हुई पूँजी हो, तुम्हारा रूप सुगंध से भरी धरती जैसा मनमोहक है। हे चंद्रमा जैसे मुख वाली पवित्र गंडकी नदी जैसी सुंदरी, तुमने यह कौन सा अलौकिक वेष धारण किया है? — रत्नमय त्रिपाठी अध्ययन, बलांगीर —————–Original Odia : Ratnamaya Tripathy Translated by : Dr. Khyatimaya Tripathy This is Ratnamaya Tripathy's another master piece. this time showcasing "Ga-Anuprasa" (Alliteration of the letter 'Ga' / ଗ-ଅନୁପ୍ରାସ).
