Unreal Attachment to the Body (42/82)

He spurned the God of Death.
He burnt the God of Love.
For all the world to wonder
He turned the ocean of milk
To follow the Infant *[1],
So he may feed.
What will they get
Who seeketh not His mighty Grace?


FootNotes:

[1] The infant referred to is Upamanyu Muni, son of Vyagrapada Muni.
The baby, Upamanyu, hungry, cried for milk and Siva gave him the ocean of milk.
