: An Assurance To Womankind
: -------------------------
: Rest assured and have no fear.
: So long as you do not lift your head,
: you will find men all around you,
: guarding.
: If a Ravana was to abduct you
: or a Dushyasana was to pull your robe,
: there are many a Rama and Krishna around
: who will shroud you with cloth infinitely long,
: and pass you through the test of fire,
: and make it all nice and flawless and sound.
