This form of yours, Bhagavan, in which every affliction falls away, you have shown to us in our affliction. What greater kindness could there be? This much is to be looked for from the mighty, who are tender to the wretched: that in due time you are called to mind by a man's own understanding, you who burn up what is not good. You by whom there is quiet for beings, even the smallest of them that strive here: hidden as you are within the heart, why would you not know what we ask? This is the very boon we want, lord of the world: that those with whom the Bhagavan is pleased have him, the teacher of release, for their way.

Even so we do ask a boon, master, of you who are beyond what is beyond. There is no end to your unfoldings, and so you are sung as the Endless. When the coral tree is got so easily, the bee waits on nothing else. Having come to the soles of your feet themselves, what would we ask for, and what?
