Abhanga 215The Nature of God

The All-Pervading Character of God

English Translation · I.P. 215

HOU art to me mother, father, brother and JL bosom friend; treasure, family and darling of the soul. Now I need no other grounds of assurance. I have placed on thy head all my burden of gaining and keeping. Thou art the sum of action, deeds of piety, thou art deity and family. in thee deeds of austerity, place of holy resort, religious vows, teacher ; in thee everything is comprised. Thus says Tuka’s brother, O God, who doest and makest man to do, in thee is fulness of faith, devotion, worship and attendance on God !

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
