Abhanga 377Confession and Sin

The Sense of Sin

English Translation · I.P. 377

THE store of my past is unpleasing to me; my heart is chafed and troubled unwittingly. I have strayed from the path; in the world I have played many a worldly part. It is well that my eyes are opened, that I have found a boatman. Tuka says, If you hear my piteous cry, at once, O Narayana, leap across the stream.

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