There
are rich hills, snow-capped mountains
there are valleys and open land where the
flowers are in full bloom
and all manner of creatures feed
on the land
profuse with all the earth's offerings
and there with the resplendent peacock
stands the Lord of the Heart,
the Lord of the Six Faces
the Lord who lives in each heart like the hermit lives in the cave
and there in the verdant riches
of the pure lands
stands the Lord of Beauty and Truth.
Behold the Lord Subramanya,
Charming Muruga, the Radiant Skanda,
the Brilliant Swaminathan.
This book is part of the TTS ishta-devatas series
