Tarun Tapasi
Tarun Tapasi (Nepali: तरुण तपसी, romanized: Taruṇa Tapasī, lit. 'The Young Ascetic') is a 1953 Nepali epic by Lekhnath Paudyal. It was published in 1953 by Sajha Prakashan. The epic is divided into 19 cantos and is written in Shikharini chhanda (meter). The poet called his epic a navya-kavya (modern type of poem), a new epic instead of maha-kavya (classical genre of epic).
The epic is a lengthy, narrative poem. The epic begins with a poet who takes a rest under a tree in a chautari in evening time. The poet recently lost his wife and is grief-stricken. The poet decides to write something, but it becomes dark. A sage appears before him who represents the soul of the tree. The sage delivers a homily to the poet as the tree who has been rooted in a single place and has seen the seasons change. The sage talks to him about his hardships and the hardships of other people who he has seen and observed. The years of observations and learning through those observation enlightened the sadhu.
The first canto has 34 verses, introduced in the subject at the start of the poem. As the poet wanders, he reaches an uninhabited place. The sun is setting in the western sky during the rainy season. The holy river was flowing and many rocks were visible on the bank. The poet was distressed by the loss of his wife. His inner desire to do penance was awakening. As he lifted his pen to write about austerities, the sun went down and the world became black. A sage then appears before him. The poet presents various question to the sadhu which then becomes the subject of the poem.
