Abhanga 926The Saints

Their Services to Men

English Translation · I.P. 926

IN holy places we find water and an image of stone, but in the society of good men we have the actual presence of God. Meeting with such, if we oiler them our body, that body is blessed. At holy places it is faith that yields fruit; though the ignorant are tempted to visit them. Tuka says. When our sin vanishes, as it vanishes, we learn what a fever it was.

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