490 Translation of the Vichitra Ndtak. [No. 6. 



explain all that God hath taught me, and not all the opposition, nor 

 the scoffs of the people shall deter me from my purpose. 



I will reveal the word of God, 

 And listen to no other creed, 

 I will mix with no other sects, 

 But teach His good doctrines only. 



I will worship no vain idols, 

 Nor idly bend my knee to stone, 

 I will praise the only true God, 

 Whose goodness is, to me, well known. 



I will not, ever, plait my hair, 

 Nor deck my ears with crystal rings, 

 I'll act as God hath order' d me, 

 And listen not to foolish things. 



I will glorify the one God, 

 And all, that he desireth, do, 

 I will praise him, and him only, 

 Because his creed alone, is true. 



He, gracious, will enlighten me, 



On him alone my thoughts shall rest, 



He dwells for ever in my mind, 



And all who love him, will be blessed. 



Those who implicitly believe 

 In God, can't err, and sin defy ; 

 Grief harms them not. Who disbelieve, 

 Amidst tormenting scruples die. 



For this cause only, was I born 

 To spread His word, where'er I go, 

 And those who put their trust in him 

 Shall cope with wretchedness and woe.
