- As A is of every alphabet the primordial letter
So is God the world’s very fount and progenitor - Your learning is idle, incomplete
If you haven’t placed it at that source’s feet - Long lives the ones who embraces the feet
Of him who graces the Holy Flower’s seat - Those who see he’s from craving free
Can walk on earth as free as he - Who in god’s praise builds his life
Protects his home from care and strife - Those who follow him who has conquered the senses five
Live a long and good life and its trial survive - None may the mind’s great torment meet
Save in the refuge of his redemptive feet - You cannot at redemption’s shore arrive
Unless to attain his grace, you strive - Who stands unawed by the versatility of God
I’d call, I am sorry, a mindless clod
If you’d cross the sea of birth and death
Seek at god’s feet his grace’s wealth.
