*Asthram (The Arrow)
---------------------------------------------------

*"asyathe kshipyathe ithi ASTHRAM";
"The one that is propelled is the Arrow";
Yes! the Missile!

*"Pasupathasthram", *"Brahmasthram",
*"Agneyasthram" and so on;
The verities!
The Arrow the Missile!

2.
The Word the Arrow the strongest!
It was the Rishi, applied the Word;
The Suthram the missile the Mission!

3.
Poetry the missile the Art;
The Art of archery!
That coined the Veda, the Ithihasa
And all!

4.
The Master the Guru he was!
The Rishi!

5.
The Manthram the Hymn
The Thanthram the Action!

5.
Yes!
The Action! the Karma;
The Karmakanda!
Is the result of
The Jnanam, The KNOWLEDGE!
-------------------------------------------
 note
Asthram=the Arrow that sprouts from
the Knowledge Eternal.
