Nuair a dhamhsaigh Krishna i mBeairic Bhriotanach
Acadamh Míleata Dehradun
(Manna: Calmacht & Gaois).
Baineann Papaji a éide airm Bhriotanach de -
scileanna míleata á sealbhú aige
d'fhonn na Briotanaigh a chaitheamh amach -
agus cuireann uime róbaí gopi Krishna.
A thuarastal go léir caite aige
ar shárithe is ar sheodra.
É ag damhsa le Krishna
an oíche ar fad.
Maidin.
Luisne ina ghrua.
Arsa an t-oifigeach i gceannas:
'An ag ól a bhí an fear sin?'
When Krishna Danced in a British Army Barracks
Dehradun Military Academy
(Motto: Valour & Wisdom).
Papaji takes off his British Army uniform -
he is acquiring military skills
in order to turf the British out -
and dons the robes of a Krishna gopi.
He has spent all his salary
on saris and jewellery.
All night long
he dances with Krishna.
Morning.
Papaji is glowing.
His commanding officer asks:
'Has that man been drinking?'
