Abhanga 909The Saints

Their Character

English Translation · I.P. 909

HE is not fatigued with guarding the three worlds; what matters our burden to him ? When a toad lies in the hollow of a stone, who puts food in its mouth ? Birds and serpents gather up no store, yet the infinite one protects them. Tuka says, If I lay my burden on him, my sea of mercy will not disappoint me.

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