Religion

The Storehouse of Bliss

by Jnanesvar 13th century

Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)

Religion

When thy visage I descry,
O how glad, how glad am I!

Vitthal 'tis, the good the fair, —
Madhav, good beyond compare.

Many blessings gather here, —
How can Vitthal but be dear?

Every joy is found in thee,
Father, Lord of Rukmini.
