Janani

"Janani jnama-bhumishya swargaadapi gariyasi"
"Tamaso matr.. ....sarwa Jagate shreyasi"

I was humming this on flight from Tokyo. Beauty of those words engulfed me and I decided to give voice but struggled to recollect the 2nd line. I was loud enough to get stares and smiles but heck. The Japanese lady next to me smiled and nodded with interest when I explained her the meaning.

Back home I asked around, looked in web but couldnt find the 2nd line. I called my sis overseas just to see if she remembers it from our school textbooks but alas! Thankfully at least she didnt think I was queer :))
