Rudra Simhasanam (രുദ്ര സിംഹാസനം)

Dearfriends, the most loved writer in Malayalam Mrinalini

Who has won booker prize, after a long period has returned to native

Miseries of mankind roving in the expanses of love and lust

Which is portrayed in her novel named 'Rudrasimhasanam'

l congratulate Mrinalini on the behalf ofjournalist association -

and also from myself

To receive our token of love and to speak few words to us-

today Mrinalini has come here

Forthat may l invite Mrinalini

Greetings, because of the blessing from previous birth

l was able to write through those words

Through the picture l drew in the minds of the readers

Those who loved me, my dear one

Forthe love which you give to me

My thankfulness, better than l speaking more towards you

lt is better on a communication of expressions

This work of mine, as readers who read it in that context

You can feel free to ask what you wanted to ask

'Rudrasimhasanam' which won the booker prize

Told about the destroyed feudal system and also narrated -

- on the miseries of salacious, voluptuous dreams of females

On this what we readers can't understand is

There are lot of mysteries hidden in your writing

lf we feel that it a face mask and an absconding of a writer -

is there anything wrong in it?

Mrinalini, who is well known as a writer in Malayalam

We would like to know more of her past life

Nowhere in this book, it is mentioned about your birth or

anything on your life till now

Like the native place, parents no references are given on them

Why is that?

You wrote even in old age there is sexual craving,

- is it because of the angerthat you couldn't indulge in it?

To awaken the nerves of new generation -

- you are a writer who is suffering from some sort of mental disorder

''Dear one, sweet dreams for eyes, sweet bird with coquettish words''

''Under the shade of gold blossomed tree, you a little golden bud''

''Hey sisters come and render the blessings''

''Dear one, sweet dreams for the eyes''

''On the branches sings the sparrow''

''Today within me, mind swings to and fro''

''Hey beloved, beauty of your eyes is tender, lustrous and immensely sweet''

''l'll murmur sweet song in your ears and l'll sing a love song in a high note -''

''- that can reach up to sky''

''When desires roars like waves l'll sing a lullaby for the entire night''

''Always by your side, joy in your beauty''

''Yourtender words creates a sweet ebb within me''

''Hey beloved, beauty of your eyes is tender, lustrous and immensely sweet''

''When the dusk dreams, l'll search for you with my eyes over the seas''

''When weaving the dreams l'll make you sleep by singing a lullaby''

''Always by your side, joy in your beauty''

''Yourtender words creates a sweet ebb within me''

''Dear one, sweet dreams for the eyes, sweet bird with coquettish words''

''Under the shade of gold blossomed tree, you a little golden bud''

Oh! My heavens, my god, my goddess!

Come running

What is it Janakiedathi? What happened?

Molutty, elephant has shown the signs of rut

Killed mahout Kesawan

Second mahout was also killed who came for the rescue - My goddess!

Should somehow inform father, ruler

ln the morning it was served with coconut, beaten rice and jaggery

Molutty, he won't be calm until and unless father, ruler arrives

l don't know where father has gone, Janakiedathy

My goddess who protects our home

Ruler, are you sleeping?

l don't know why, Shivathanu, from yesterday night onwards mind is worried

A feeling as if the goddess at Manavathoor is standing on chest

Ruler, on your chest it's not Goddess, who is standing

lt's Ummamma, who is standing on chest

l've only one wish

Only l know ruler's right and wrong doings

l got a life, l got love it was you, ruler who gave all this

What is right for the ruler, that is right to me also

When my breath comes to an end, the secrets of ruler -

- also should come to an end along with that

Shivathanu! Yes - You were given to me by Goddess

Mother! Goddess at Manavathoor

By giving money and liquor won't get the love

That should come from the soul

Your love is like that

What Shivathanu, what happened? Let me take a look

What a pity!

Ruler, the tyre is punctured What to do now?

lf not reached on time Umayamma, will get offended

What to do now?

Abhimanyu again got struck in rut Hey ruler!

Says Abhimanyu, is again struck in rut

My Manavathoor Goddess!

To calm down Abhimanyu, only my ruler can do it

Why seeming to be doubtful?

He will recognise the hand which feeds him coconut, beaten rice and jaggery

When ruler holds on his tusk as he is in a state of rut

He will come walking like an obedient boy

Even if it is to any hell!

You may go

My god! Father!

Molutty, you may go, to protect fatherthere is Goddess at Manavathoor

Father, don't go near Abhimanyu

He'll become calm when the rudeness subdues

You may go inside, l'm the one who is telling no? You go inside

Ruler, you may come

Daughter Father - Come here daughter

Ruler, go and call just call son, Abhimanyu

Think of Goddess at Manavathoor in the mind and call lovingly

What is it that you want? l'll give you anything, come son

My Goddess at Manavathoor

Shivathanu, look he is Abhimanyu

He is my son

My life, as you've said, l'll not give him to anyone

Look, now l'm going to chain you on that wooden pole

As big as your body you have a big soul, my Abhimanyu

Manavathoor Goddess!

My goddess, failed!

Son!

Father!

Son!

Move away!

Hello, is it po...po...police station?

Molutty, open the eyes

Move away fellows!

Sir, the astrologer had predicted 3 times he should be send to forest

Or else he'll kill 5 people and demolish the ancestral home

3 people have already died sirs kindly kill this evil creature!

Anyway should require a consent letter

Daughter Haimavathy princess is saying to shoot and kill this animal

Says she doesn't want to see the father's killer again

Since it had killed 3 people, there nothing more to think

No matter how violent it is -

- if it doesn't know the person who feeds, then it's difficult to chain

Yes - To avoid killing this animal that is ourjustice

But over here

As perthe new wild life protection rule

No matter how many people it has killed -

- we do not have the right to kill that animal

But if the sleeping pills is give in an over dose -

sometimes death may happen

Elephant named Abhimanyu hailing from Manavathoor royal family

On this day became, violent mahout Keshavan

The second mahout, Manikuttan

Owner of Abhimanyu and ruler of Manavathoor royal family

Neelakandaraja, son of Patmanabaraja was brutally killed

For the native as well as forthe compatriots

Found to be threat forthe life and property, as perthe lndian Wild Life Act

Should be shot with a highly powerful sleeping pills

Creature should be made to calm down, as it is informed to compatriots

Must not kill, we have no rights to kill anyone

Mother!

What is it Tanumama, at this night?

So far, a bold person who hasn't chained any elephant

Will cover the sun with the palm

Has got the nails of an eagle, earth's turning will be stopped

With a thumb of the left foot

Doesn't like females, he is a sorcerer

The deity is Pratyangira, which is for destroying the foes

At mid night will immerse in the pond and argue with Goddess

lt seems he is Rudhran, he is Rudra Simhan

Will he again go from here?

Told he is going To where?

Whole day l was wandering in search of a mahout

After my dear ruler's body is burned to ashes, if l continue to stay here

That is only because of thinking of daughter - Thanumama

During a rainy season when came by swimming the river

Gave a place to sleep and food to eat, my ruler is god to me

To look after royal family and Haimavathy, l was given by Goddess

Always used to say that

Do not cry, you are the daughter of a great father, you are the next heir

Mother, protect

Goddess, actually who is this Rudra Simhan?

Abhimanyu, will again show the signs of rut

lf an elephant becomes lunatic it can be chained

But females

They can't be chained

There is a big gap for the windows in here

That should be closed

lf not...

Don't leave me and this royal family and go, l don't know who you are

l don't know what is happening over here

l'm a girl who has lost everything

Princess, kindly get up

Shouldn't call me like that

l'm Rudran

Rudra Simhan

l've affirmed it in the mind, that l'll fail only in two places

One is my death and other is in front of deity which l worship

The mighty Pratyangira

God and death will not cheat

l have not come here upon your invitation

At the right time l came at the right place

lt is only a destiny, destiny no one has got the rights to say don't go

To say don't know whetherthere is right

lf it is a stupidity kindly pardon

ln such a situation don't leave us and go

Until the princess gets married, you should be here as a shelter for us

Marriage, this princess doesn't have the luck for a married life

My goodness Husband won't live

Won't happen anything to virginity

Some astrological fools will slide away saying it's a previous birth curse

And then..A person will come who loves princess more than his soul

Princess will be filled with love
