Religion

Only with Thee and Thy Saints!

by Manikka Vasahar probably late 9th or early 10th century

Translated by F. Kingsbury and G. P. Phillips (1921) · From Hymns of the Tamil Saivite Saints (1921)

Religion

Our lady aye is in Thy heart,
As Thou in hers; and if ye both
In mine do dwell, grant me a part
Among your slaves, O ever First.
Unending lord, in Tillai's hall who dost abide,
Let this deep yearning of my soul be satisfied.
