Taramala
Fifteenth bead of the Taramala
O Batuka, take me to Kashi,
The eternal city poised on your trishula,
Bounded by Varuna and Asi rivers,
Forming the great maha smashana.
Kashi, etched in my heart since childhood,
Yet I’ve not received your permission to visit.
What sin have I committed, O Batuka?
