Scroll Text: Laurel for Saraswati man Ikkam

Cerian Cantwr

Daughter of the Gangees, welcome to Our court.
Saraswati man Ikkam - graceful as the swan,
radiant as the lotus blossom -
from whose hands healing flows like kindness.

With pen and brush you create curve and shape and line -
done in diverse hands and a myriad of styles.
Your art does catch the flickering gossamer of memory
to preserve on parchment for all to see.

Whether drawing resplendent suns or jasmine-colored moons,
lustrous golden fire or frosty dew drops -
your scrolls help to teach us who we are, where we've been,
and hint at what we might become.

For all these things and more do we, Seto and Ynes,
Maharaja and Maharani of this Middle Realm,
raise you to this laurel order of learning
and place its wreath upon your head.

Done this 2nd day of May, AS 55 while sitting on
Our thrones in the ethereal realm.

Scroll by Iosobail Mhic Leoid
