Abhanga 920The Saints

Their Services to Men

English Translation · I.P. 920

IF I wish to invite the saints, I can find no materials to entertain them; O thou who art the soul of the universe, tell me how to serve them fully. It needs an ocean to contain an ocean; how •can I become vast enough to receive one? Tuka says, It were well to call oneself sincerely a suppliant.

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