----------------------------------
Even as an elephant
That, breaking from the herd, goes all alone
And yet remembers his mountain home:
So I remember Thee.
As a caged parrot thinks
Of his own kith and kin,
So I remember Thee.
O Cenna Mallikarjuna, Lord, call out to me
Saying, 'Come here, my child' and show
Thy loveliness to me !
