This body became mine by pure accident; what no means could accomplish has come to pass. Now cut short my course of rebirth, give me freedom from fear. A blind man may hit on a treasure-trove behind his back, against all probability; just so, this has come to pass. Tuka says, It was a welcome chance; now, O God, I shall quit Thy side no more.
