Today's Beautiful Gem: `My beloved dwells in my heart' by Amaru.

"mugdhe mugdhatayaiva netum akhilaM kAlaM kim Arabhyate
mAnaM dhatsva dhRtim badhAna RjutAM dUre kuru preyasi
sakhyaivam pratibodhitA prativacas tAm Aha bhItAnanA
nIcaih: s'ansa hRdi sthito hi nanu me prANes'varah: s'roSyati"

"O innocent girl, do you want to spend the rest of your time in trust?
Be brave and proud; keep loyalty to your lover at a good distance!
Having heard her friend's words of advice, with fear on her face,
she replied:
Speak softly; my beloved, who dwells in my heart, may hear you!"

Om s'aantih: Peace! - J. K. Mohana Rao
