to the yathajata (naked) brave ascetics, to the sources of the religion of kindness, to the ones filled with equanimity.
Victory! Victory! Victory! to the coasts of the sea of transmigration, to the pivots of the abode of salvation, to the resolute ones tolerating everything, to the waters washing the dirt of karmas.
Now... the atithi has come nearer He has crossed many initial courtyards, his sacred feet are progressing moment to moment on the path; frost has fallen on the vitals (pranas) of the courtyards left behind, they are not having that cheerfulness now! There the sun sets, here the lotus jungle fades; still, a hope is waking in them that the patra can return back.
The sun may come next day .... does come!
But,
treading the path
