Songs of Tayumanavar

Desire that is so Known (24/40)

Thou made me follow the holy path
That is beyond words, meaning and logic
And seated me in the assembly of goodly men.
Will my heart thus purified seek selfish desires?
With possessions none of Thine own
Thou created the world and life.
Thou art He, sought as the refuge of countless yogis.
Thus Thou sat, Thou redhued Lord,
Under the wild banyan tree!
Thou, the munificient Kalpaka Tree!
The Being Pervasive! The Life of Kailas!
