DA
datta, dayadhvam, damyata.
give, sympathize, control.

Three words the thunder said repetitively,
none of the men understood.

Every time he roared  "DA",
they did hear,
but they did not listen.

The thunder persistently continued,
men finally understood through experience.

"DA"- whispered the thunder,
and  the father listened.
Datta - it meant to *give
his daughter away to her paramore.

"DA"- he said once more,
the farmer listened.
Dayadhvam- it meant to sympathize when he saw the starving man.

"DA" - the thunder will roar for the last time,
and this time,
all of mankind will listen.
Damyata - control your mind and peace shall be yours forever
