Scene 5

(The next day Upamanyu takes the cows to the fields. There the cows graze happily on grass and leaves. Upamanyu sings soulful songs.)

```

Prabhu,

tomar hasi bhalobasi

tomar aghat bhalobasi

tomar charan bhalobasi

tomar nayan bhalobasi

atma tomar bhalobasi

deha tomar bhalobasi

tomar sakal bhalobasi

pratikshane bhalobasi

prabhu tomai bhalobasi

tumi amar parichayer banshi

```

```

(Supreme,

Your Smile I love

Your Torture I love

Your Feet I love

Your Eyes I love

Your Soul I love

Your Body I love

Everything that is You I love.

Every moment I love You.

O Lord Supreme, O Lord Supreme,

I love You, I love You.

You are the Flute of my existence.)

```

```

Ore mor kheya, ore mor neye

ore ananda bani

niya jao mor trishita kshudhita

supta chitta khani

mrittyu nritya heri charidhar

dhangsa ashani hane durbar

ogo kandari tumi je amar

chira asimer kripa-parabar

tomar majhare harabo amare

jani aji ami jani

```

```

(O my Boat, O my Boatman, O message of

Transcendental Delight,

Carry me. My heart is thirsty and hungry,

And it is fast asleep at the same time.

Carry my heart to the other shore.

The dance of death I see all around.

The thunder of destruction indomitable I hear.

O my inner Pilot, You are mine,

You are the Ocean of Compassion infinite.

In You I lose myself,

My all in You I lose.)

```

UPAMANYU: I do not know what I am going to eat today. Yesterday I drank so little milk that I am now tired. I drank very little milk, but even then my Master scolded me and insulted me. What am I going to eat today? (Suddenly.) Ah! I can drink the milk that is left on the mouths of the calves after they have drunk from their mothers.

(So for breakfast and lunch, as soon as Upamanyu sees that the calves have finished he licks the frothy milk from their mouths, and he is satisfied.)
