Harishchandra’s Heaven and Hell

 

Stripped off from his kingdom

Noble king Harishchandra

Sold his wife Taramati to

An elderly man

Himself became a slave 

And worked in cemetery

To pay for Vishwamitra’ yagna

 

Few weeks later

When his wife came carrying

Their dead son in her arms

True to the fault

He demanded cremation fee

From his wife

But a slave has no money

 

After testing the king on every step

Of his life 

Vishwamitra finally said to him

“You will get a place in heaven.”

 

If something like this happened today

Honest Harishchandra must have said

“Who gives a fuck about heaven, old man?

You made my life living hell.”
