The three aspects of merit I have separated; I have disentangled them and shown the whereabouts of each. Our portion at birth is spent, of that which remains the true end is the happiness and dignified bearing of the saints. Every one must believe what is verified by accounts; nothing else will pass. Tuka says, There is no sin or merit, standing against me; I have an acknowledgement that my accounts are square.
