Peerless

(692)  Aloker ei purnotsave

At this total gala of light,
Why do You stand all alone?
With joyful heart in dulcet notes,
The koel sings meanwhile.

Upon the lotus altar of this earth,
You've come to steal our three afflictions.^[1]
You made flowers bloom from withered buds;
Onto both banks Your river floods.

You have come, shelter to provide
For the helpless with tortured mind...
To furnish strength in the weak psyche,
Wheels of Your chariot smashing the haughty.
