The goddess Laksmi
loves to make love to Vishnu
from on top
looking down she sees in his navel
a lotus
and on it Brahma the god
but she can’t bear to stop
so she puts her hand
over Vishnu’s right eye
which is the sun
and night comes on
and the lotus closes
with Brahma inside
~Anonymous, eleventh century
(translated by W.S. Merwin and J. Moussaieff Masson)
Laughing with delight at ‘Adornment”
Well, she does “adorn” him, does she not?
a,
I believe this is my favorite One yet. & yes, she most certainly does adorn him, divinely so I’d say.
