See that the lamp of hope does not get extinguished. See that due to cruel knock of the
blow of storm, this flame does not get extinguished. In the depth of the mind, I have kept
the lamp glowing, I have kept arranged carefully the wick smeared with ghee. I look
towards Your path again and again, while this sandal beeze slowly blows. My job is to
kindle the lamp to illuminate Your adornment. With gesture, sometimes You dance the lalita
and sometimes ta’nd’ava. Whatever You want, You go on performing, but do not delude me
for nothing, so that by disappointment the eyes should not shed tears.
