“Hate dissevers takin and goral, black bear and beaver, deer, leopard and dragonfly harboured by this hermitage, hate blanches your still- human eyes, flows down larynx and pharynx and trachea, leadens the breath and whirlpools memory’s voice till all you know all you feel all you seek is nothingness.”
Karthika Naïr, Satyavati

“I could not say where it began,
perhaps only the stars can, for beginnings
come clothed in mist.”
Karthika Naïr, Satyavati

“Bheeshma, lauded land and sea and sky; forests, oceans, glaciers. Bheeshma, the name seared in deep crannies of hell, pealed dark but clear as a temple bell from the throats of distant stars.”
Karthika Naïr, Until the Lions: Echoes from the Mahabharata
