Abhanga 313The Nature of God

God's Protecting Love

English Translation · I.P. 313

OUCH is the loving trust of my Vi(thoba that (O God, as he becomes our teacher, assumes a pleasing form, and fulfils our desires; we may hope he will take us to himself. He shields us on all sides; if destruction draw nigh, he averts it. He preserves what we have acquired; he knows what would distress us; he takes us by the hand and leads us. Tuka says, He who believes this not, let him search the Puranas with attention.

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