English Translation
Your name is my austerity, Your name is my charity, Your name is my spiritual discipline. Your name is my pilgrimage, Your name is my vow, Your name is my true merit. Your name is my dharma, Your name is my work, Your name is my daily practice. Your name is my yoga, Your name is my sacrifice, Your name is my prayer and meditation. Your name is my knowledge, my listening, and my reflection. Your name is my constant contemplation. Your name is my family tradition, my family dharma, and my daily observance. Your name is my conduct, my thought, and my firm resolve. Says Tuka, there is nothing else to declare. Without the Name, I have no wealth at all.
