| Alas! Desiring wealth in order to provide myself with food, I wander in vain from one person to another. O all-knowing one! I am not acquainted with the way of worshipping Thee. O Lord of all beings! O destroyer of the sins of devotees! Thou shouldst save me, at least for the reason that, on account of the maturing of my previously acquired merits (as it were), Thou residest in the heart of all beings (including myself). |
