Translation
You arrived! It was you who arrived!
Like a peacock’s tail in the distant blue sky
you have unfurled yourself.
By your very touch, despairing life
has received new light.
By the runu-jhunu-jhunu sound of ankle bells
the three worlds have arisen.
Come still closer, sit still closer
when you have indeed let yourself come within reach.
Neither do I have devotion nor power.
I can only offer my salutations with all my heart.
Having accepted these salutations
you’ve fulfilled me
