भाग ६

इंग्रज कवयित्री जोना बेली यांनी सन 1849मध्ये अहिल्याबाईंचा गौरव करताना म्हटले होते-
“For Thirty years her reign of peace,
The land in blessing did increase,
And she was blessed by every tongue,
By stern and gentle, old and young,
Yea, even children children at their mother’s feet,
Are tought such homely rhyming to repeat,
Kind was her heart and tright her fame,
And Ahlya was her honoured name.”
अबराय मॅके हा प्रसिद्ध इंग्रज ग्रंथकार म्हणतो की, “त्यांचे वर्णन वर्डस्वर्थच्या पुढील शब्दांत करता येईल.
“A Perfect Woman, nobly planned to warm,
To comfort and command,
And yet a spirit still and bright
With something of an angel light.”
