Role of women in sanskrit literature

Role of women in sanskrit literature
Grandma invites YamadevGrandma invites yamadev
but
arrives always some new disease.
She calls for “Narayana”-the divine doctor
but
a human doctor gives an injection
laughing cheerfully.
She summons the daughter-in-law
but she doesn’t hear (intentionally)
in kitchen, busy with cooking .
Grandson is looking at TV cartoons.
The dear son is in hurry
to rush to the office.
The maid servant never hears her cries.
Grandma is gladdened
on hearing wailing dogs in the street,
but
a neighbour passes away the next day.
The grandma wants to go
to “Vaikunth”
but the ambulance
takes and brings her back again.
She starves for food
but someone gives colourful pills and runs away.
She calls for the death
but it sends new agony again.
Now she doesn’t call anyone,
because she has forgotten
the synonyms of life.

Tr. By the poet
Harshdev madhav


My Poetic review on Madhavsir's poem

The female is forbidden
to fight against the fortune……….
Foremost format of feeling
Filling family fore-tune………….

Forlorn for fatal flaw……
Fully the fester fellow…….

Finally forget the foresight……
Does life set it right???????????
