- Washing away sins of all born beings through contact with shining waves, cuckoo of devotion rich in fresh sweetness, delighting the daily round of servant swans dwelling on her banks, may Kalinda's daughter wash away our mind's impurity.
Waves that wash every creature's fault and nourish devotion's cuckoo-call point to consciousness refreshing all levels of life; those who dwell on her bank as humble servants find the day's round turned into glad service of the Self.
