________________ is really far better. Without fire the fragrance of the scent known as Agarı does not increase. Oh Veetraga just as him who has found a lamp at night, or like him who has found an island in the ocean, or like him who has found a tree in the desert of Marwada, or like hin who has found a small fire in the cold weather...Similarly in the Kalikala, I have found the dust of your beautiful feet (1.e. I have found my lord!) which is so difficult in these times! 7. Oh God of all Gods! Without meeting you (7813), in other times besides this Kalikala, in many rugas(cycles of time) I have wandered in this four cornered world (Hizi2 ). Thus where I have now met you..(and my faith has become so firm!) 1.e. in this Kalikala, let me pay my obeiance to this Ka likala! Just as the most poisonous of snakes (id 672 ) 18 adorned by a beautiful jewel.... similarly this Kalikala which 1s full of defects looks bea tiful because of you who are faultless!
