Religion
The Balancing of Deeds
Translated by F. Kingsbury and G. P. Phillips (1921) · From Hymns of the Tamil Saivite Saints (1921)
Religion
O lord of Perunduṛai, place of peace,
To them who call Thy name, beyond compare
True joy art Thou. Thou mad'st my woe to cease
When good and ill deeds done were balanced fair.
Then lest unwith’ring seeds of birth should grow,
In Kal̤ukunḍu Thy fair self didst shew.
