Summary of the poem lakshman by toru dutt?

Answer 1

A Sea of Foliage-

A sea of foliage girds our garden round

But not a sea of dull unvaried green '

The light -green graceful tamarids abound

amid the mango clunps of green profound

and palms riselike pillars gray between

and o'er the quiet pools the seemuls lean

Red-red and startling like a Trumpet 's sound

But nothing can be lovelier than the ranges

Of bamboos to the eastwards ,when the moon

Looks through their gaps ,and the white lotus changes

Into a cup of silver One might swoon

Drunken with beauty then ,or gaze and gaze

On a primeveal Eden ,in amaze

the summary of this poem is

Different foliage, from many different plants.

Just one type of plant everywhere, would give the impression of "dull unvaried green", but a mixture of plant colors and textures would be "a sea of foliage"

The ocean isn't just one color....being a mixture of shades and colors, and I think that's the analogy that this is trying to make.

In her poem 'A Sea of Foliage' Toru Dutt compares the greenery surrounding her family's garden with the sea. She goes on to say that while the sea has an unchanging green colour, her garden is filled with different and exciting shades of green: the light green of the tamarind trees, the deep green of the mango grove, the grey green of the stately palms. A contrast is found in the brilliant red of the flowers of the seemal tree which takes one by surprise like the sudden shrill sound of the trumpet.

She says that the loveliest however are the lines of bamboo trees, growing towards the eastern side of the garden. When the moon shines through the bamboo trees and when the white lotus looks like a silver cup, the scene is so enchanting that one might almost faint, intoxicated by its beauty or gaze in wonder at what looks like the Garden of Eden- the first garden created by God for Adam and Eve.

Sri Aurobindo's Savitri is an epic poem of high spiritual challenge in the Yoga or Divine Union or Goal of

Self-Realisation it presents. Its spiritual conception is so all-embracing, so integral that it gives birth to a

power which transforms life on earth to a life of divine activity rather than leading to an escape from life.

The epic is a mantric expression of this great Seer-sage's inner findings and conquests, leading to his

vision of an age of truth-consciousness and immortality. It portrays in living drama the daring climb within

of a king-soul through progressive states of consciousness to Nirvanic heights and beyond to summits

never reached before. The poet reveals how at meditation's peaks at one with God, where many cease

their search, he becomes aware of a Presence, God's Consciousness, Power and Bliss, which he calls

the Divine Mother. He relates how this Creatrix of boundless Love and Wisdom-Splendor comes down to

transform Darkness into Light, the Unreal into the Real, and Death into Immortality.The famous Mahabharata (from the Pativrata Mahatmya Parva in chapters 291-297 of the Aranyaka

Parva) legend of "Savitri and Satyavan", the story of "Love Conquers Death" is made the basic symbol of

this mystic scripture of "Divine Life on Earth". The legend tells of the noble and virtuous King Aswapathy

performing all kinds of austerities in order that God might be pleased and grant him a child to uphold his

kingdom. After 18 years the goddess Savitri, wife of the Divine Creator, issues forth from the sacrificial

flames and promises the king a radiantly spiritual daughter to spring from her own being.

The child is born and is named Savitri. She grows up "like unto the Goddess of Beauty" herself in

embodied form and is blessed with godlike qualities. When she reaches maturity, kings and princes,

overwhelmed by her divine character, dare not ask her hand. So her father sends her forth to seek her

own lord. Her heart finds Satyavan, the faithful son of Raja Dyumatsena, a blind and exiled king who lives

in a forest hermitage.

When Savitri comes to declare her love to her father, she finds him in a conversation with Narada, the

great heavenly sage. When Narada hears Savitri's words, he warns that Satyavan, though endowed with

all high qualities and honor constant as the Pole Star, is destined to die in a year. The parents try to

persuade their daughter to choose another, but in vain. Narada advises the father, however, to allow

Savitri to marry Satyavan. So the princess is married and lives a simple, quiet life in the forest. She

pleases all with her tender service, self-denial, evenness of temper, her skill and gentle speech and her

love for Satyavan.

But night and day Narada's prophetic words are present in her mind, but she speaks of them to no one.

When the appointed day for Satyavan's death approaches, Savitri fasts and prays, and on the fated day

she begs permission to follow her husband into the forest in order to see the blossoming woods through

which he passes daily. Never having petitioned anything previous to this day, she is granted her request

and soon comes to where he stops to cut wood for the home fire.
