Dear mother

(355)  Ogo amar adarer mati

Oh my dear mother,
Mine of gold and diamonds, purer than sugar...
On my coming to this world, I saw you first.
Before your beauty, mind fills with verdant grace;
Mother, by your presence, I'm indebted in many ways.

You provide for me the food and drink I crave;
Your sweetness inundates my life with fragrance.

By serving you I'll faithfully serve the universe;
Your deliverance will shatter fetters everywhere.
