25. Aasaippaththu “Oh King ! Oh Dancer Oh Gem of a priest whose role is to guard and enslave me ! Call me to dismantle this pus-exuding, fly-infested, dirt-overlaid walking frame of mine. Oh God! Oh rare One to the devaas! Oh Civan Behold that I long for You to look at my face a little and say “Aa Aa” - “Come hither !” (25:3) “Obeisance Oh my Lord ' I am grieved for this grace-less walking cell full of bones, filth and dirt clinging and tormenting me. Oh beauteous great One! Behold that I long to reach your holy flowery Feet and abide seeing for ever Your light of grace with a broken, thawing and melting heart " (25:4) “Oh Rider on the bull 1 Oh Sacred-ash-covered One : I resembled a tamarind fruit (Tamarindus indica) in my body of fleshy putrid interior and skin-covered exterior. (The ripe fruit of tamarind will have the dry epicarp freed from the fleshy mesocarp). Even then Oh my rare Ambrosia Who came in Your grace and made me Your Own! Behold that I long for Your calling me a person worthy of pity". (25:5) 5.99
