SHRI SAINATH-STAVAN MANJARI
(A HUMBLE TRIBUTE OF PRAISE SHRI SAINATH)
by DAS GANU

The water latent in the clouds
Does not alter that part of the
earth on which it falls;
Yet, that very part of the earth
Is called Godavari (or pure) by the scholars
of the scared books. ….36

Where the water has fallen elsewhere,
It has acquired the qualities of
the soil of those places;
Contaminated, bitter salty it becomes-
Though, originally sweet ….37

Same is the case with you, oh, GURURAYA,
In whom there is no impurity of the six - vices5
To that holy form
This title, "Saint " is befitting. ….38

5. These are lust, anger, greed,
desire, ego, envy.

Therefore, saints are Godavari
so full of grace:
Amongst all the beings
Your place is the highest! ….39

From the beginning of creation
Godavari has been in existence;
It has been full of water
And it has never lacked it -
till today. ….40
