Hello Laxmi, Thank you.

There are never exact translations between two languages. So you don't need to be apologetic. I request you to post the Malayalam version as a translation and use the script too available on our site. Please check.

Here I notice that they are different versions!
But are you saying that the sensual pleasures are divine or talking about the divine aloofness of the Buddha from sensual pleasures!
There is a little possible misreading on this point in the English version. The Malayalam version is clearer. I translate the Malayalam version thus.

amidst sensual glee
in bliss of the atman ~
a bodhisattva

or

amidst sensual pleasures
in the ecstasy of atman ~
a bodhisattva

or

amidst sensual pleasures/glee
in divine ecstasy ~
a bodhisattva



"atman" & "bodhisattva" are accepted terms in English!
They are even there in the dictionaries!

Thank you very much, Narayanji for this correction.

That image reminds me of atman amidst circles of fire...though the nature of atman is divine …it is susceptible to the outer circles of fire …..

so what I meant is ...."the divine aloofness of Buddha from sensual pleasures"

I have slightly changed the order of the lines....

sensual glee swivel
aloof Buddha ~
divine ecstasy

I hope it is clear now.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.....
About the Malayalam Script…where is it located??

Yes Laxmi. It is clearer.

The line break may be after line one for greater clarity
and an "in" may be added at the end of line two.


sensual glee swivel ~
aloof Buddha in
divine ecstasy

Go to "translate" and go ahead with the Malayalam script via quillpad.

Very fine mandala and a fitting haiku too, Laxmiji. Greetings!
