Abhanga 754Devotion to Vitthal

Life under the Influence of Religion

English Translation · I.P. 754

IHAVE no speech to describe thy glory; I cannot truly tell the limits of thy nature. I have laid this body, thy own gift, at thy feet; now what can I renounce for thee to honour thee therewith ? I have no faith to serve thee; if I offer thee my life, behold it is thine; I cannot see anything of my own to offer thee. Tuka says, I have nothing I can rely on, to pay the debt of gratitude I owe thee.

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