Since the very start of time, You have cared for and fed every living being.
You live inside each and every heart, beautiful beyond compare.
Everything moves the way You gently guide it — like a whole world dancing to one quiet music.
You have been cherished from the very beginning of time.
The One cherishes and sustains (partipaalaa) all beings aad jugaad — from the beginning through the ages. Present in ghat ghat (each heart), the One moves everything as it pleases, like a world dancing to one quiet music.
