Translation
Fret not, O Mind! Be patient
He will protect everyone, there is no
doubt about it. |Pallavi|
Who was it that tended and watered the
tree
that grew on a hill top?
As He is responsible for your existence,
Firmly He will look after you, have no
misgiving |1|
Who was it that fed the animals and
birds
that roam in the forest?
Just like your own Mother, He will take
the onus
to care for you without fail. |2|
Who nourished the worms and insects
that were born on a stone?
The lotus-eyed Adi Keshava of Kaginele
will protect everyone, there is no doubt
about it. |3|
