Oh Ma Kali, for a long time now
You've masqueraded in this world as a clown. But I am punished inside and there's nothing funny about Your jokes. Oh Ma, sometimes You're the air we breathe, sometimes the sky in the seventh underworld furthest away, and sometimes the water in the sea You assume so many forms! I have traveled to countless lands and worn countless costumes; even so, Your marvels -- ha! -- never cease. Premik says, My mind is a cad; that's why it's sunk in attachments. Why else would these tricks of Yours keep working?
