Your feet and mine

by Devara Dasimayya
(10th Century) Timeline

English version by
A. K. Ramanujan

Original Language
Kannada
Yoga / Hindu : Shaivite (Shiva)
10th Century

God of my clan,
I'll not place my feet
but where your feet
have stood before:
I've no feet
of my own.

How can the immoralists
of this world know
the miracle, the oneness
of your feet
and mine,

Ramanatha?
