Abhanga 302The Nature of God

God's Generosity and Condescension

English Translation · I.P. 302

THAT deity who tends the cows, will he ask a rich present from you? He is pacified by the language of faith; he is gladdened by imperfect speech. He needs no multitude of forms nor profession of respect. Tuka says, In the company of the helpless he lays aside his greatness.

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