Not just good's but evil's ocean



(3801) Kalaunkii cand tumi kalaunkii cand

A sullied moon, oh You are the moon stained.
In my mind, in everybody's psyche,
A wondrous snare, strewn You've retained.

In a bloom's vicinity, on the trail of honey,
The bumblebee comes and sits for its own need.
You permit it to come, You permit it to sit;
Having pulled it near, You bear the blame.

Whatever sinful sufferer, mind thoroughly vile,
You accept every blemish, hey the King Who self-denies.
Yours is no container, You are everybody's shelter;
You are peace for everyone, sorrow You eliminate.

How could I have been so blind



(3800) Bhaveri gahane madhurii sane

In the depths of my thought with sweetness,
Humming, a sprout of myrtle sings.
It simply does not look at suppressed agony;
Sound it does not find on my veena strings.

I hear that He had come in the wildfire of summer,
With bakul and bela under heat intense.
In the screwpine pollen on a monsoon current,
Having come, He'd gone; heedless, that I did not see.

He had been embellishing with shephalii in fall;
At prewinter He'd been mixing with glacial frost.
I don't want to see, and so there is no vision;
That fault of mine, I did not consider it, neglectfully.

Beneath cold wave of winter I'd been in a state worldly;
I saw not that He is in the snow with white purity.
At spring, between the pain, on a nighttime sweet,
I had been overwhelmed; where He is I did not seek.

In summation



(3799) Nitya nirainjana saunkatabhainjana

Always stainless, dispelling dilemma,
The lotus of Your feet please give to me.
Expansion of bliss, liberation from bondage,
A billion prostrations I make known to Thee.

The bloom that had opened at the touch of morn,
The garland that was strung just on being loved–
Oh Lord, don't ever throw them far away;
Let their heart find You only.

The songs that You've composed with loving feeling,
The tunes You've presented merely assiduously–
Drenched by their tears, feet having caught,
It's the same plea... I beseech Your mercy.

Ubiquitous



(3798) Acho navaghana niila akashe

You are in the blue sky, new and striking,
And in a gentle, heady breeze.
You are in the moonlight with touch sweet,
And in the trace of a song frenzied.

The hawk-cuckoo goes on singing about Your love;
The universe swoons on account of Your splendor.
At Your memory, there is sweetness in the monsoon season;
You are in the month of Chaitra's ecstasy.

Ever unknown and unfamiliar You're the endless friend,
Coated with ambrosia, the Self-Awareness.
You never leave anybody alone or helpless;
With the light of consciousness always You accompany.

The time for action has come



(3797) Bakula suvase

With a medlar's sweet scent,
With a medlar fragrance in the Chaitra air at present,
Do we know the One for Whom heart pines...
With infatuating magic at a remote paradise,
Toward Whom it looks time after time?

In the three worlds, what load of pain has remained,
Whatever humble assortment of aches,
On waters overflowing like high tide of life,
Launching buoyant in a hundred ways You provide.

"Having drawn the distant near, today you bring;
Hear, upon the sky a bugle rises playing!
On drunken wind, the two poles girdled by,
Go ahead, absent a divided mind."

With a blazing rudraveena



(3796) He rudra bhaerav tava rave

Hey the fierce Bhaerav, on Your report,
The world arose, trembling.
Hey the Bow-Wielder, yon horn's speech,
It booms, proclaiming bolts of lightning.

Upon water, land, and heaven's vault,
Like aural ornament, a bugle rung.
Viewed has the night a boon enemy;
That night He rid immediately.

Darkness of fog, the owl parliament
Had thought will turn yet more intense.
A bin's burning repertoire,
Mid that, it could not persevere.

Yourself I divine



(3795) Tomay pratham bhevechilum

Upon You foremost I had mused
Over my life's duration.
And so, on my light's account,
You broke a stone-prison.

If at any time inquires anyone:
Please tell me who is Your love,
I'll reply to him: "Pardon me,
He smiles on every star."

Please accept obeisance, oh my Sweetheart,
Many, many times, in the millions.
Precious Gem of my dark home,
For a brief instant You'd been stone-housed;
Today that stone hard to cross is cut out;
This makes known: He does not get lost!
