Nourished perfectly for endurance

(3147)  Je kamal phutechilo sarovare ucchala

The lotus that had bloomed in pond is effusive;
On a morning's wind its fragrance comes floating.
That can't be seen externally, only upon thinking painted;
In the universe sparse it stays, blossomed amid psyche.

Always bright, eyes trained on the sun;
Ever-wakeful it remains, solar rays linked up.
With stem stuck in the mud, it is not smirched.
To smile in delight it bides; from taste of Game is lively.

This psychic lake of mine, it does not evaporate;
Having been fed by frost, in summer also it prevails.
Upon the waves lachrymose, by love it is illuminated,
Age after age and later, free from impurity.
