To this sandalwood grove,
who has sent You?
If You wish to remain confined to Yourself,
tell me whom the mind should seek?
Controlled by wild animals
and infested with serpents,
the sandalwood forest used to be full of fearfulness.
By whose magic charm
was fear removed
and loved eagerly sought?
The sandal tree never used to bear any fruit.
Going there with hunger and thirst proved useless.
By Your arrival,
with the dust of Your colourful feet,
it is offering consolation to all.
