That We Should Renounce It

English Translation · I.P. 850

TRUTH is ever welcome; through false notions faith departs; through the gift of your favour we know the pure from the impure gold. If a pleasure seeks me out f I will renounce it forthwith. Tuka says, O God, your service is an ointment to the eyes.

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