Abhanga 358Confession and Sin

The Sense of Sin

English Translation · I.P. 358

WHO will support me in my reflections? Who will fortify my mind ? Iam neither learned nor skilled in debate, nor pure of lineage. In this evil age there are many clever folk, who will torment me when I sing thy praises. I am beset by a doubt whether I shall worship thee, or not, O God 1 Tuka says, Now to live apart from mankind or to die, both of these resolves are good.

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