Abhanga 272The Power of the Name

The Power of God's Name

English Translation · I.P. 272

THOUGH the name is close to his lips; a man utters it not day or night; the name of Vitthala destroys desires and annihilates the world. Why do you not secure this dwelling-place, this pleasant neighbour for your heart ? Tuka says, Why do you not lay up this excellent store ?

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