693. You are my father, the lord of Vithuvakkodu!
red lotuses don't bloom if the red-hot fire comes close and emits heat
but they open their petals only to the warm rays of the glowing sun.
I am like those lotuses.
Even if you do not take away my sins and sorrows,
my heart only melts for your endless grace and for nothing else.
