THE SONG of the GODAVRI*

(The river Godavari feels a glorious joy as Guru Gobind Singh, from the Punjab, wets His feet in her waters, and the river bursts into the following ecstatic song.)

The thrill of life, the lotus-touch of His feet, has made me sweetly insane with joy,

The sacred moon has drawn to me the trembling tides of song.

In every wave of mine throb the rhythm of the celestial song.

And I tremble as a little reed shaken by the wind.

It has kindled suddenly every ripple of mine with the glow of life,

And in my myriad waves I quiver forever, restless in love, like the lightning of the sky.


  • The Godavri, like the Ganges, is a sacred river, where hundreds and thousands of the Hindu saints, adepts and yogis go on pilgrimage.
