[INDOLOGY] A distraction from the Coronavirus

[Madhav Deshpande]

A distraction from the Coronavirus

विश्वामित्रो मुनि: प्राह मेनकां स नवार्भकाम् ।
कोरोनाभयभीतोऽहं जहामि त्वां प्रियामपि ।।

The great sage Vishvamitra said to Menaka who had just delivered a baby:
“Scared of the danger of the Coronavirus, I am going to abandon you, though
I love you.”
