Sweet Latadi (Mangeshkar) ,

The heavenly Nightingale of a melodious tune is devoted to the rhyming performance
of divine sweetness;
living goddess of gaandharva-vidyaa and famous all over the world.
Revered Latadi, the gem of the world,
conferred with Bhaarata-Ratna (highest civilian award of India) is Padmaavati,
decorated by a couple of Padma awards.
Let pleasing Latadi like Kalpa-lataa,
the ever-growing creeper of fame and prosperity conquer and sing for ever.

Sanskrit verse on Latadi by Vanikavi Dr.Manomohan Acharya
