Come, my friends, to seek his grace!
Is he Leela Shuka or Rishyashringa?
As a great sage, he shines right here!
In a silent, peaceful meditation of love,
He is deeply immersed in sacred yoga.
Whatever he may desire at each hour,
Arrange and offer it at that very moment.
Without making any noise so he remains in peace,
Serve and worship him with humble devotion.
