I. He enters on a life of absolute renunciation. 

The potsherd and the skull I deemed my kin; my soul dissolved; 
Wealth to be sought was Civan's foot alone, I clearly saw; 
With soul and body to the earth in worship bent, a slave, 
I'VE REACH'D HIM WHERE HE DANCES, LORD OF TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY! (4)

II. Here shall I be set free. 

Through fond desire of those of slender form and gentle words, 
How many deeds soever guilt increasing, I have done, 
Nor 'death' nor 'birth' I dread ! He caus'd me to embrace His feet; 
A slave, I'VE REACHED HIM WHO BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY ! (8)

III. He brought back my wandering mind. 

Melting my inmost frame, He killed the germ of twofold deeds;- 
Pluckt out my rooted griefs;- made purely one the manifold;- 
So that all former things might perish quite, He entered in ! 
I'VE REACHED HIM WHO IN LOVE BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY ! (12)

IV. Civan made known only to disciplined minds. 

Who severs not Himself from those whose minds are severed still 
From vain assembles void of sign, and way, and temper meet,- 
The 'goal of bliss,'- Ambrosia's mighty flow,- to chastened thought 
Revealed,- I'VE REACHED HIM WHO BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY ! (16)

V. The consummation gained in Tillai 

This same embodiment bound up with name and quality 
To consummate, He cuts off sin that clings ! His servants all 
As they draw near, the honey taste of Civan's mercy, and 
Are filled, where I've REACHED HIM WHO RULES IN TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY ! (20)

VI. My being in His hand. 

Bud on the bough, then rounded flower, next fruit unripe, then fruit 
Matured,- my frame thus formed He made His own, nor hence departs;- 
That trusting thought may ever cling to Him, as it clings now, 
I'VE REACHED HIM WHO BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S GOLDEN HOME OF JOY ! (24)

VII. The mighty foot. 

The demon's arm for strength renowned, by the same sacred foot 
That pressed upon my head, was crushed, and glorious rested there; 
Thus by His grace I'm freed galling bonds of life, and here 
I'VE REACHED HIM WHO BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S HOME OF THRILLING JOY ! (28)

VIII. 

The sacred foot that walked within the wilds after the wild 
Black boar that digs deep down, He planted on my head; 
And so surpassing power of the five fierce ones' mighty play 
Doth cease, when I'VE REACHED HIM WHO RULES IN TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY ! (32)

IX. 

I lay as one who tills a barren field and reaps no crop;- 
'Twas then the gain of penance done of old accrued; and thus 
Before the Caivan's roseate lotus foot I bent my worthless head 
His own,- I'VE REACHED HIM WHO BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S HOME OF JOY ! (36)

X. 

Her form He shares who by His side grows as a tender bough;- 
To Him I with right mind my sacred ministries perform;- 
This here, abolishes whate'er results this state can yield; 
I'VE REACHED HIM WHO BEARS RULE IN TILLAI'S HOME OF HEAVENLY JOY ! (40)
