प्रेतिनी पिसाच अरु निसाचर निशाचरहू, मिलि मिलि आपुस में गावत बधाई हैं.
भैरो भूत-प्रेत भूरि भूधर भयंकर से, जुत्थ जुत्थ जोगिनी जमात जुरि आई हैं.
किलकि किलकि के कुतूहल करति कलि, डिम-डिम डमरू दिगम्बर बजाई हैं.
सिवा पूछें सिव सों समाज आजु कहाँ चली, काहु पै सिवा नरेस भृकुटी चढ़ाई हैं.

Kavi Bhushan
1613 · 1715
Kavi Bhushan stands as a monumental figure in classical Hindi literature who fundamentally redirected the trajectory of courtly poetry. Born in 1613, he chose not to write conventional verses of romantic indulgence. Instead, he dedicated his pen to Veer Rasa (heroic poetry) during a highly turbulent period in Indian history. Bhushan served as an honored poet in the courts of the Maratha king Shivaji and the Bundeli king Chhatrasal. His most celebrated works, such as 'Shiva Bavani' and 'Chhatrasal Dashak', are electric chronicles of martial valor and political resistance. Writing in a robust form of Brajbhasha interspersed with Sanskrit, Arabic, and Persian, he commanded a mastery over complex poetic meters and figures of speech like Shlesh Alankar. Bhushan did not merely flatter his patrons; he immortalized them as defenders of cultural dignity, making his verses echo like war drums across the centuries.
Paired Painting
Goddess Kali
In this powerful depiction, the divine Mother stands as the ultimate destroyer of illusion, her form radiating the fierce and protective love that transcends worldly fears. Her dark skin absorbs all light and color, symbolizing the infinite void from which creation springs and into which it eventually returns. Stepping upon the inert form of Lord Shiva, she pauses in her wild dance of dissolution, a potent reminder that consciousness without divine energy is motionless. The garland of skulls and severed arms she wears are not symbols of malice, but trophies of conquered ego, freeing the human soul from the heavy chains of attachment. Through the masterful lithography popularized by the Ravi Varma Press, this profound spiritual vision entered countless homes, inviting devotees to look past external terrors and embrace the liberating grace of the supreme feminine power.
