Abhanga 263The Power of the Name

The Power of God's Name

English Translation · I.P. 263

EACHEBS themselves do not understand the 1 secret of the Vedas: what authority do others possess ? The name of Vitthoba is easily mastered; ’S NAME with one impulse it bears you over the sea of the world. The wise know well that charniB are impracticable, likewise acts and seasons prescribed; other men are all foolish. Tuka says, We have lost sight of the commandments and prohibitions; this path has been annihilated.

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