LALLA-VAKYANI

Khina khčna karan kun no watak ;
Nakhona gatshak ahamkári. Sumuy khéh mali, somuy deak,
Samiy khënah mutsaranay baranèn tari. Sum yõli samiy rum kati roziy,
Ada ha mali sapanak,-"Sotham, Suy." By eating [and] eating thou shalt not reach anywhere (i.e., wilt not achieve
anything); By not eating thou shalt become conceited (i.e., thou shalt consider thyself a great
Sscetic). Eat moderately, and thou shalt live,
By eating moderately doors will be unbolted [for thee). When an even ljoint) is joined to another even joint, no rim remains, Then thou, O Father, shalt become [fit to proclaim]—"I am He, even He."1
8. Kwebab ta koso majt,
Kami laji bhajf-bhat? Kali gatahak kunih na bab kunl no mdje.
Zánit lava läjit bhájibhag. Who is father and who is mother,
Who made friendship with thee! After some time thou wilt go [dio, then) none is father, none mother. Knowing this, why hast thou contracted friendship (i.e., art attached to
them)?
9.
Lali gor brahmdndah pähkeun wuchum
Shakibalo balo pada đa. Gnanaki amrita prakrat bharam ;
Lobay morum andatand idm. I, Lalla, saw the guru above the Brahma-randhna: The digit of the moon (i.o., the light of true knowledge) reached down to
my feet. I Alled the intellect with the neotar of knowledge; I deadened greed completely.
. 10. Latan hund mda idrion walan;
Aliy haunam aliciy wath Yim yim bozan tim kona matan!
Lali biz ahatan kuniy kath. The flesh of my feet was caught in the paths;
The Only One (i.e., Om) showed me the path to the Only One (i.e., God); Why wilt not those who listen to this become mad (with love of God)! Lalla listened to simply one word (i.o., Om) in place of hundrede.
(To be continued.)
