The Men of Faith

by Namdev 14th century

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

Religion

Long may that happy household live
Who service to my Hari give.

May no temptation bring distress
But all their lives be blessedness;
No wind of self e'er cause them scathe,
My loved ones, Visnu's men of faith.

Blessings be theirs whose lips have sung
The name of Nama's Pandurang.
