A treasure found in the ploughed field

नांगरणीत सापडले अद्भुत भांडार

नांगरणीत सापडले अद्भुत भांडार

पुरातन अग्निचा प्रज्वलित हुंकार ।

येई ऐकू ध्वनि भूमिच्या गर्भातून 

दिव्यत्व येत आहे दगडामातीतून ।

होती प्रखर साधना युगायुगांची 

ईश्वरी धारणा कृतीत आणण्याची ।

संपल्या वेदना, क्लेश अज्ञानाचे,

गेले याचकपण, कठोरत्व मृत्युचे ।  

अवतरले चैतन्याचे प्रकाशमन 

आनंदली पृथ्वी स्फूर्तीने न्हाऊन ।

उद्यान उमललेले  छंदांच्या लयीत 

खळखळणाऱ्या ओढ्याचे रसाळ गीत ।

प्रेरणा होती निखळ आविष्काराची 

सार्थकता प्रशांत सृष्टि निर्मितीची।

Border of ploughed agricultural field on sunset background

A rendering into English by Akash Deshpande

नांगरणीत सापडले अद्भुत भांडार      

पुरातन अग्निचा प्रज्वलित हुंकार ।   

Found in the ploughed field a wonderful treasure

The bright flame-roar of an ancient fire

येई ऐकू ध्वनि भूमिच्या गर्भातून      

दिव्यत्व येत आहे दगडामातीतून ।   

Heard the sound from the womb-depths of the land

Divinity bursting from soil and stone

होती प्रखर साधना युगायुगांची       

ईश्वरी धारणा कृतीत आणण्याची ।

It was the intense askesis of the ages

To bring god’s desire into action

संपल्या वेदना, क्लेश अज्ञानाचे,     

गेले याचकपण, कठोरत्व मृत्युचे ।  

Gone are pangs, gone the agony of ignorance

Gone the seeking, the obduracy of death

अवतरले चैतन्याचे प्रकाशमन         

आनंदली पृथ्वी स्फूर्तीने न्हाऊन ।      

Consciousness of the Mind of Light descended

Earth rejoiced, awash in inspiration

उद्यान उमललेले  छंदांच्या लयीत      

खळखळणाऱ्या ओढ्याचे रसाळ गीत ।

In rhythmical meters the garden blossomed

Ran freely the rapid stream’s essential song

प्रेरणा होती निखळ आविष्काराची     

सार्थकता प्रशांत सृष्टि निर्मितीची।    

Afflatus of unalloyed invention

Worthy birth of pacific creation

    Beutiful poem on ploughing, on new and auspicious beginning and its auspicious great results. True in material life as well as spiritual. To rise above we have to go deep within.

    Beautiful photographs look more meaningful accompanied with the poem.
