Abhanga 356Confession and Sin

The Sense of Sin

English Translation · I.P. 356

IKNOW not by what means I shall keep my faith ever fixed at thy feet. How can I prevail on thee to come and dwell in my heart? When, O God, wilt thou grant me to contemplate thee with genuine faith? Do thou banish all in me that is deceitful and come in thy genuine nature to dwell within me. Tuka says, Sinful as I am, let thy power save me, O Panduranga.

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