We need not consider if our utterance be
awkward or confused; our part is to utter
Thy name with fond affection. We need not consider the occasion, nor tremble before the learned,
even though they be eloquent and reciters of the
Vedas. We shall give this Infinite Being such
names as cannot be found in the Puranas. Such
frolics as will beget joy in our mind, such frolics
we shall play, as we listen to discourse of him.
Tuka says, We are brimful of joy; we shall wear
joy for an ornament on our persons.
There is a rich harvest of this day and night.
We shall serve up the Compassionate in
various forms; the sweetness is such that we shall
still desire more of it. This is a stream which will
never dry up; sit down in a row to drink it.
Plentiful, says Tuka, is the milk that flows from
our mother.
