Quote

Like the morning dew on a petal, human love is short but shines most purely.

Greeting

O cloud, carry my message to her.
Live this day well, and yesterday becomes a happy dream, tomorrow a hope.
In Shakuntala's tears lies the truth of love.

Roll Call

I shall live this day well. You called?
The cloud has brought word. I shall go.
I rise, borrowing Shakuntala's courage.

Deploy

Push forward like the monsoon wind!
Ride the cloud of the Meghaduta and advance!
Overwhelm with the stillness of the Himalayas!

Victory

Yesterday has become a happy dream, and tomorrow becomes hope.
The fragrance of the lotus rides the wind.
Joy like Shakuntala's reunion with the king.

Draw

The wheel rises and also falls.
The monsoon departs but returns again.
The mountain is still in the midst of the storm.

Defeat

O cloud, carry even this sorrow.
Shakuntala's tears have become my own.
A night when the lotus sinks beneath the water.

Strike

Pour the torrents of three thousand worlds!
Borrow Indra's lightning and strike!
I stake everything on this single day!
