Abhanga 372Confession and Sin

The Sense of Sin

English Translation · I.P. 372

HEBB is none who respects me; as far as JL reputation goes I am lost. What service is credited to me possessed of such power, that the house of God should be favourable to me ? What purity have I, of descent, lineage or action, that thy secret should be revealed to me ? What strength of austerities or liberality, what single source of power have I? Tuka says, I am a burden on the earth; what do I know of the future ?

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