Life under the Influence of Religion
English Translation · I.P. 760
WE have found an excellent trade, we have reached the place of desire; we have settled our faith at thy feet, our life has found repose. The happy omen has borne fruit; we have escaped from all misery; now that we have seen thee, we shall live and die no more. Good it is that I came to this place; my legs have done well to bring me here. We have turned from the life of bodily sense, we rest under the shadow of Brahma. We have found a treasure, inexhaustible, imperishable, full of bliss. We have seen even his feet who is form beyond form, the slayer of Madana. This is an old coin of the early ages; it has long been hoarded up. It has been counted strange and laid aside; we have walked over it without knowing it. Now that I have embraced him, for my soul's sake I will not leave him. Tuka says, I am weary, O leader of the world; do not let my eyes rest on another.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
