Abhanga 297The Nature of God

God's Generosity and Condescension

English Translation · I.P. 297

THE cattle are cared for because they yield us curds and butter. This is the secret that we faithful people know, hence we have embraced the name of Hama. Steel, flint and cotton serve to produce fire; else who would carry them about? Tuka says, Spades and iron-bars are only kept till w r e find this treasure.

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