Gommatesh Thudi (English Translation)
by Prof. B.K. Khadabadi
1.
His eyes nicely petalled like a lilly, His face fair like the moon, And His nose lovelier than the campaka, Before that Lord Gommatesha ever I Kneel !
His person clothed with purity, cheeks clear like water, His graceful ears swinging close unto the shoulders, And His mightly arms resembling the trunk of king of King-tusker Before that Lord Gommatesha ever I kneel !
3.
His comely neck surpassing the divine conch, His lofty shoulders wide like the Himalayas, And His shapely waist so steady and spectacular, Before that Lord Gommatesha ever I kneel !
Glistening aloft at the crest of the Vindhyas The crowining glory of all the excellent images, And the full-moon exhilerating the triple world Before that Lord Gommatesha ever I kneel !
