Songs of Tayumanavar

Veda (4/10)

Thou, who were never away from my heart,
Beckoned to me saying ''Come.''
And then poured on me
The waters of Bliss imperishable.
Thou, Heavenly Cloud of Mercy!
Thou art the Lamp of Compassionate Grace
That emiteth no heat!
The Pure Expanse Vast
That dispeleth falsity!
It is Thine burden to see
That I do not fall
Into the mayaic pit of birth.
Save me from such a fate,
Thou, Compassionate God!
