Meditations on Savitri Book 2 Canto 9

Savitri Book 2 Canto 9 - The Paradise of the Life-Gods

A summit and core of all that marvellous world,
Apart stood high Elysian nameless hills,
Burning like sunsets in a trance of eve.||65.11||
Their slopes through a hurry of laughter and voices sank,
Crossed by a throng of singing rivulets,
Adoring blue heaven with their happy hymn,
Down into woods of shadowy secrecy: ||65.12||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 9 - The Paradise of the Life-Gods

A scale of sense that climbed with fiery feet
To heights of unimagined happiness,
Recast his being’s aura in joy-glow,
His body glimmered like a skyey shell; ||65.20||

Savitri Book 2 Canto 9 - The Paradise of the Life-Gods

A giant drop of the Bliss unknowable
Overwhelmed his limbs and round his soul became
A fiery ocean of felicity:...
The rapture that the gods sustain he bore. ||65.29||
