Dear Madhav
Why on earth do you think Lakshmana would like Shurpanakha to come back under any
circumstances?
Best wishes

A distraction from the Coronavirus

गच्छ शूर्पणखे दूरं माऽऽयाहि मम सन्निधौ ।
कोरोनानिर्गमादूर्ध्वं पुनरागमनं कुरु ।।

Lakshmana said to Shurpanakha: “O Shurpanakha, go far away. Don’t come near me. Come back after the Coronavirus goes away.”
