Religion
A Vow
Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)
Religion
Whether I live or perish, yet
On Pandurang my faith is set.
Thy feet, Lord, I will ne'er forsake, —
To thee this solemn vow I make.
Thy holy name my lips shall tell;
Within my heart thy love shall dwell.
This, Kesav, is thy Nama's vow.
O aid me to fulfil it, thou!
