If by chance, during one of Your leisure periods, You think of me, forget that anytime I loved You. For You, expecting Your arrival on the golden chariot, I had tied my chignon and threaded a garland. But, today, like a serpent devoid of its jewel, I cry in pain. You forgot that on several bright mornings, I had picked up flowers to decorate You. Now, all my sweetness became lost beyond limits, it vanished into the sky. If in an idle moment You ever thought of me, please forget that memory. Please, forget that I ever loved You. It was for You that I braided my hair and wove a garland But today like a serpent devoid of its jewel, I am burning in agony. I have descended from that golden chariot. Please forget on how many red dawns I picked flowers to adorn You. Today all the sweetness is lost and fled beyond the void. Explanation: A poetic / mythological allegory for the soul. A serpent with a jewel in its crown symbolises the unit mind and its soul. The golden chariot symbolises the hiranmaya kos'a, the subtlest layer of mind.
