Abhanga 940The Saints

Their Services to Men

English Translation · I.P. 940

ONE is safe when he calls himself a servant of the saints; a ready and comfortable alms awaits him. It takes toil to form a deep impression; a slight error of principle brings destruction. To cook a meal, there must be materials ready; when these are well arranged, the dinner is pleasant. Tukft says, It is easy to make up tales, as long as the battle-field of impressions presents itself before the eyes. TJIE SAIN TS

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