Abhanga 241The Nature of God

God's Power

English Translation · I.P. 241

IF Narayana is weak, why dothe Purunas resound with his praise? No drum is beaten save in the name of a glorious prince; else why do not men praise some other? Therefore declare that he lives for ever; it is his noble nature to make the lives of men happy. The excellence that is in him is incomparable, therefore his holy form has penetrated our hearts. No one is great who does not obey Hari; no prince should rise up against him. Tuka says, The truly great will serve him; with him there is no deceit or envy.

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