Lovely as a jasmine and a blue lotus, of surpassing strength, repositories of
wisdom, endowed with natural grace, excellent bowmen, hymned by the Vedas, and
lovers of the cow and the Bråhmaƒas, who appeared in the form of mortal men through their

religion, friendly to all and journeying in quest for S∂tå, may they both grant us Devotion. (1)

Kali age and knows no decay, which shines ever bright in the most beautiful moon-like
