One was restive at the battlefield
HE pulled the chariot for the entirety
Leafy garland draped, couplets were sung
HE beamed at the love of the devout
Nails were hammered in his limbs
HE cleansed the sins of humanity
A bush decked and carols hummed
HE smiled at the love of the devout
Call him a cowherd or a shepherd
Imbibes the shape given by devotee
Praise a leaf or ornate the shrub
Benevolence is what he taught
HE desires love of the devout
For HE seeded the Tulsi plant
& HE rooted the Christmas tree
