I CANNOT sing or speak with clear utterance; but I have brought body, speech and mind to seek Thy protection. O accept me, reject me not, O Hari! O Saviour of the sinful, vindicate Thy name! I know nothing of faith or devotion; I call myself Thy servant; if you abandon me, who will be disgraced? Tuka’s brother says, I have embraced Thy feet; now whom else have we but Thee?
