Evergreen



(746)  Nijere photayecho tumi

You have expressed Yourself
With unfamiliar color and form.
Waves of light You have emitted
Inside the abyss of utter darkness.

With such import You jolted heaven,
Its mere light-motes made earth oblivious.
Inside collective heart You engendered jingling;
In new kadamba blooms[1] You were revealed.

The stream of compassion, now it's spilled over;
Therefrom our mortal minds have been inundated.
You endowed with speech mouths foolish and mute;
With incense and lamps, they warmly welcomed You.
