Thou art more loving than a mother, cooler than the moon, more yielding than water, a mine of love. What can I compare to Thee, O best of beings? I am fit but to be waved round Thy head and cast away. Thou madest the nectar sweet, yet Thou art sweeter than nectar; Thou art father of the five elements, Thou art ruler over all. Now in silence I lay my head at Thy feet; Tuka says, O Lord of Pandhari, forgive my sins.
